Simple script for remotely shutting down your DS nas device. Im lazy so I like to avoid logging into the web ui and clicking around.

gistfile1.py

#!/usr/bin/python
import urllib,urllib2, sys

BASE_URL = 'http://192.168.100.101:5000'
ADMIN_PASS = 'YOUR ADMIN PASS'

# Login to admin interface

parameters = {'username' : 'admin', 'passwd':ADMIN_PASS,'service_type':'1'}
request = urllib2.Request(BASE_URL+'/webman/modules/login.cgi', urllib.urlencode(parameters))
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
resp = response.read()
set_cookie = response.headers.getheader("Set-Cookie")
sess_id = set_cookie[set_cookie.index("=")+1:set_cookie.index(";")]
headers = {"Cookie": "id="+sess_id}

if 'success' in resp:
  print 'Logged in successfully...'

# Reboot or shutdown the device

# 'reboot' is also a valid command
parameters = {'opt' : 'shutdown'}

request = urllib2.Request(BASE_URL+'/webman/modules/reboot.cgi', urllib.urlencode(parameters), headers=headers)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
resp = response.read()

if 'success' in resp:
  print 'Powering down...'
