Yes, you can. There are various ways of going about it, but the new SvrPowerControl plugin is a particularly nice way of doing it. For example, you can have the SB switch over to SqueezeNetwork when you shutdown the PC running SqueezeCenter. For more info, check out the relevant thread in the 3rd Party Plugins forum.

There is no need to install anything. Just copy the psshutdown.exe to e.g. c:\windows.
I installed the SvrPowerControl plugin last week and it's working great. Much more flexible than the scheduled task in Windows I was using before that to shut down the server.
