what is shutdown?






:roll:
 
Shutdown.... It's what it is, a program for you to time shutdown your system.

A quick update...Version 2.1 has released and should be rolled out to everyone through the software, if your using version 2.0 then just head on over to the preferences window and check for updates there.

This update fixes a lot of problems with stexec (the command line utility) and with Version.
 
The utility allows you to shutdown based on CPU/Mem usage and also you can shutdown, restart, logoff, lock, hibernate and standy.
 


Shutdown Timer v2.5 Beta 2 has been released!

The main changes are a few GUI changes plus integration of Core Temp to allow you to take certain actions using the CPU temps.

There is now a 32 Bit and 64 Bit version, so users cannot upgrade their current version on the system if their OS is 64 bit.

Could be handy when I'm downloading things over night and know roughly how long it takes.

Thanks!
 
Hi sandeepb and welcome to TPU :toast:

I don't have any need for this little utility, but I just wanted to say that you did a nice job on the interface and look of it.

You may want to consider an option that will shut down the computer when a specific process or program completes. Many of us let our computers run things at night (when we are spedning time with Mr. Pillow) and might like to have their rig shut off when their chosen task is finished.

Sure that's a simple thing to add, I'll add that into the next update :) and thanks for the comments.
 
If you don't mind, how about putting your location in your profile. It's always nice to see where people are from and adds to the worldwide community that TPU has established. You can also add your system specs in case you need hardware help.

The reason that I suggested the shutdown on process completion is that many people download via torrents when they are away from their computers. If you could have the utility detect when all torrent downloads are finished I think it may be useful to people here.

Disclaimer : TPU users would never think of using torrent to download illegally.

Haha sure they wouldn't!

Well that does seem a bit extra on resources for something that may be able to come from the torrent client itself.

Maybe in the next version I will.
 


Shutdown Timer v2.5 Beta 3 has now been released.
This version fixes a lot of bugs and also includes the new Network Usage module.

I have been working hard on the final version of Shutdown Timer, a lot of testing and implementing new ideas, also a lot of code improvements and fixing memory issues.

The final version of v2.5 should be released sometime this week!

can i shut down when some programms, "exe files" close?
I ask because i have some programm featuring close@finish but the pro-programmer are to dumb to add shutdown

[EDIT] would be nice for any window opened, like if it's closed-> do *whatever*

Shutting down the system based on if a process is idle is on the roadmap and can you also explain detail what functionality you wanted, I'm kind of confused getting what you want.

Thanks.
 
This is a very handy tool I use a lot and it seems much nicer than the one I used before this. Thanks man.
 
So it also does shutdown according to network usage?
That way I can do a shutdown after downloads complete :)

EDIT: why is it downloading "Needed files"?

The software needs certain extra libraries for it to function, since the portable version doesn't have them I set it to download them, they are less than 100KB altogether so it's not a big download. They are then saved in the same directory you have the shutdown timer program so everything you have is kept in the same directory.

And yes you can set it to shutdown after your downloads complete.

Yeah but the proxy here blocks it :)
 
Hmm I have my PC set to shutdown automatically by executing the internal Windows shutdown commands via Task Scheduler, besides easier automation, would this program offer any more advantages over the current system I'm using?
