run a script based on event??

[HP Geeza]

I know that this isn't the best place to ask this sort of question...but id 
be greatfull for any advice/help!!!

I need a way to shutdown remote windows servers through an event handler in 
nagios...i dont quiet know how to write a script (whether it be perl or 
bash) which will allow me to do this.  the way i understand it is there 
currently isnt a way to run a windwos command in linux.

I can quiet easily run the shutdown command from a windows box to shutdown a 
remote windows machine...but becuase nagios runs in linux i need a way to 
shutdown windows machines from linux.

Any ideas????
