Running a shutdown from a txt file

Hey!

I have a report that creates a list of machines nightly that are
switched on. It puts them in a file called clients.txt with each
hostname followed by a new line.

This must be an easy thing to do but I have virtually no VBS Scripting
experience (I still use .bat files) But I would like to process each
machine in the list and run the shut down command on them.

In an Ideal world I would love to ping it and it is was not contactable
it could store it in a log file as HOSTNAME : (Whatever hostname) is
not contactable.

I have a bat file that does all of this but I would really love this in
VBS. Can anyone give me any clues on where to start. I have downloaded
a script repository but I just can't find what I am looking for
Thanks in Advance

Dan

Please post a sample of the clients.txt file. Also, if you post the bat
file contents, it wouldbe pretty easy to understand what you are
looking for and do the same with VBS
