IDEA: Automatic shutdown/restart/standby/hybernate/lock program

(1/2) > >>

wreckedcarzz:
Would it be possible to have an .exe file that, after a period of time (idle, or a countdown timer) or a pre-set time to have the computer shutdown/restart/standby/lock or even shut down and install Windows Updates? I really need something like it.

jgpaiva:
I guess there are tons of apps like this out there, making one would be reinventing the wheel.
Another way is to use the windows run box, as i usually do:

the following shuts down the computer in the given seconds:

--- ---shutdown -s -t TIME_IN_SECONDS
the following restarts the computer in the given seconds:

--- ---shutdown -r -t TIME_IN_SECONDS

'shutdown' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne

FYI, it does NOT exists under Windows 2000 and inferior

Sorry... I find that most useful.

like jgpaiva, i too use the shutdown tool in WinXP. btw, shutdown -i opens a gui interface..

wreckedcarzz:
you may want to try Dimio's DShutdown. among other things you can set it to shutdown after finishing a particular task.

There are monitoring options that allow you to shutdown a PC after a particular application terminates (useful at the end of compressing several files). There are also options to shutdown a PC when Internet traffic reduces below a particular data-rate (useful to shutdown a PC when it has finished a large download).-website
