Question : Stop/Start sybase 12.5 from a remote computer by script

Is it possible to re-start a Sybase Server on NT from a remote NT-System from script? isql, Windows Scripting Host, cmd file ... etc?

Hopefully without installing additional software.

Please supply working script.

I know password of sa on the Sybase Server.
I know username and password of a local NT administrator on the remote system.
My local username is not known on the remote NT system.

The way I've done this is to install cygwin on the machine.  It's a unix shell that runs on windows, and you can run bash scripts and connect from computer to computer using ssh (or telnet, if you really want).  You can create a bash script that will ssh into the remote box and issue your run commands.  To do a shutdown, it's easier to do this in isql but that can be accomplished in cygwin as well in the same manner.

If you're administering multiple NT or XP servers, I believe cygwin is a tool you absolutely must have.  You can download it for free at cygwin.com
