Please can you review my first program that actually has a purpose. When I'm doing something on my computer, but have to go out for the rest of the day, I leave the PC on which is a waste of electricity, so I made this program which automatically shuts down your PC after a certain amount of time to save you electricity, and money. Say I was downloading a large file, but it said it was going to take two hours, I would set the program to shut down the PC after three hours to make sure the download had finished first (incase download speed changed). Thankyou in advance http://uploading.com/files/5f48911b/auto+shutdown.exe/
Sounds like a nifty program to have but doesn't Vista (Not sure about the other versions) have that option already too turn off after a certain amount of time? Nevertheless its a handy file to use
Sounds like a cool program but i got programs that run jobs at different times a day as so my pc is an almost 24 hours a day.
this function is already available in your windows xp, you can manage from your control panel > power option and you can set time for your monitor, and CPU and also if you have a good UPS then you can set time for your ups. second method: start menu > click on "RUN" and type shutdown -s -t 110800 (110800 seconds = 3 hours you can change this to 3600 = 1 hour or less, like a 60 second then only put shutdown -s -t 60 and your computer shutdown after 1 minute(automaticaly) also you can save this as a program, open note pad and type this code: shutdown -s -t 110800 and save to example.bat and anytime if you want to use this option only click on this "example.bat" and your PC turn off on your set time. anyway thanks for make a electricity saver
I have long been using "shutdown -s -t " for this purpose.. but I think you made a good attempt for a good cause. Keep it up.
