With no information about what OS you're trying to shut down, no mention of the command to do so, and no attempt to solve it on your own? This isn't a code-writing service, you should put in some effort, if only to ask a question.

    Thanks Mr. Roboticus i am sorry for the minimal information provided. I am using a window machine from that machine i need to login a linux based interface OA through ssh where i need to shutdown all servers at once. Instead of doing one by one which is time consuming.<\P> I tried using <code> @server = (1 .. 5); foreach (@servers) { exec ("poweroff server $_"); } <\code>

    Since I doesn't want the status of the command output for poweroff so used exec command. Is this info enough for you? Thanks in advance. <\p>

      Better. So you have a "poweroff server" command that takes a number and shuts down the appropriate server? So I'm guessing that the poweroff command is not returning until the server actually shuts down.

      If that's the case, then perhaps the easiest way would be to use a batch file like:

      @echo off
start poweroff server 1
start poweroff server 2
start poweroff server 3
start poweroff server 4
start poweroff server 5

      That way, the command shell can fire off the five poweroff commands in their own separate processes.
