This program can be used to automatically shutdown, restart, log off, disconnect or hibernate your computer. There are four triggers that can be used: at a certain time, after a certain time, when the CPU usage goes down or when you get disconnected from the internet. This means that your computer doesn't have to be on any longer then necessary. The program hides in the system tray when running so it can be easily aborted and gives the option of a 5-60 second countdown. You can also set the program with the command line for use at the end of a batch file or if you frequently use the same settings.

The original source can be found on http://tinnes.org.uk/shutdown/index.html

The zipfile contains the original sofwtare and a Clean VSA.

there is a new 6 version


Use the erik link to download. ;-)

8th July 2010

A version of Timed Shutdown for Windows 7 and Vista has been released. Version 6.0 adds the ability to specify a date so you can now schedule shutdowns over 24 hours in advance. It also brings the extra actions Standby and Lock Workstation.

Some triggers from the original (CPU usage, and lost internet connection) have not been transferred to the new version yet, but it's planned that they'll be incorporated at a later date, possibly along with some new ones.
