    The %x command, and Windows command line utilities like “AT” and “NET STOP”.

    e.g.

    @result = %x[AT \\computername 00:00 "NET STOP service"]
    

    00:00 being the current time plus a reasonable buffer to account for the clocks being out of sync. Also, the AT command requires elevation on Vista/Server 2008/Windows 7.
