Remotely shutdown vlc

[Orion4048]

Hi,

I'm using vlc to stream tv broadcast on Ubuntu 10.04. Sometimes i need to shutdown one of the vlc among others (There are 4 vlcs running with daemon option). With telnet connection and write down "shutdown" command, i can do that. But i wanna do it with a script. Is there any way to do this, like any command line like that?

Code: Select all

telnet 192.168.1.5 4212 "shutdown"

Thanks.
