Can you set an actual time, other than a countdown?

Looks good, will have a try when on the main machine.

Well I will be adding that into the next version, I just wanted to get the base programming done, before I go more indepth with other stuff.

Tell me how it works out for you.

 

[sandeep]

Nice, will try it later. Adding a time to shutdown and ability to shutdown other networked pc's would be good.

Good idea. I'll add that in the future updates list.

Hi. I used c# to write the app. Thanks for the comment

 

[sandeep]

I prefer the shutdown command from the command prompt and/or batch file. It is scriptable and more powerful.

Yes it does, I'll hopefully be implementing all those options into the gui.

 

[sandeep]

Suspend? Is that the same as standby?

It will put your system to sleep, or if you have hibernation enabled then it will hibernate your system instead.

 

[sandeep]

this app is rather good too...

It is quite feature packed, I will be implementing most those features in the program, including shutting down when the cpu has hit a range in it's load.

At the moment mine just does the basic until I improve the code since I've only been coding in C# for about 2 months

All back and running with a new server now.

Yep you see it right, I've completed the sidebar gadget, and it's 100% working.
I hope you all like it and please donate to help the project, I have to pay server fees as well.

Feedback would be great on it.

Does the shutdown command not do this

It won't be able to do what's coming in a few days....

 

[sandeep]

Sandeep, do you work for microsoft?

Well thats all his GUI uses I assume.

No I don't work for microsoft, not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not

Well in a way my GUI does use the shutdown command, the same as you can use in a batch file.

In the upcoming new version there will be a lot more to look forward to in a shutdown timer

[sandeep]

Well guys. I had a lot of requests from a users saying they want CPU/mem functionality as they'll be able to get their system shutdown while it's stress testing. An example is during prime95 an you check if it's above, say 80% for 120minutes you'll then be able to have your system shutdown without being awake for the stress test.

Also to do with the GUI I'm working with it and also bigger resolutions will find that this GUI is of good size. There is the option to minimise to the notification area so the window doesn't stay up all the time.

Version 2.5 of Shutdown Timer has now been released!

Give it a try and send feedback my way
Hope you all like it!

1) Why are you putting an extra update icon in my start menu?
2) How do I add another machine to the network list? Does that bit work yet?

1) What do you mean by an extra icon, it's the same config as all other versions

2) It detects all the networks and lists them, the networking module still needs a lot of work. You can also just type the name of the machine in the combo box as well it should work.

 

[sandeep]

1) Either way it shouldn't be there. Just 2 icons in one folder would be great.
2) Ok, well for you wish list what about multiple machines? Can I import a CSV?

1) Are you talking that it comes up on your start menu when you click the start button? If so you can just remove it from there, I've put it to windows does that with some new software installations. I still have to fix that in the installation package.

2) You cannot import a CSV, the functionality on that box so far is that i detects your network and checks if any other machines are in your network and lists them there.

I will implement the multiple machines part in the next build, also will integrate a way to import a CSV.

 

[sandeep]

OK this maybe a bit beyond the scope of the program, but what would be really cool is if you could connect to an active directory and say shut down all machines in a particular OU.

Sorry can you define "OU".

And I'm not fully understanding your question. What active directory would this be? On a other network machine or the current?

Or are you talking about the ability to shutdown say:

- Machine 1 in 5 minutes
- then after another 5 minutes Machine 2 shutdowns down?

If so it is possible but may be implemented in future versions once everythings working.

 

[sandeep]

Sorry, I think I've gone a bit far.

haha just maybe, I'll take a look at them anyone, good to learn new stuff

 

[sandeep]

Just something that I've noted whilst using the programs for 2 minutes. If you click the text "Options" it takes you to the CPU page but if you click the grey square surrounding that text then it takes you to the options page.

I'll change that, thanks for the heads up.

An uninstall icon in the start menu would also be nice.

Sure I'll add that in the next build.

 

[sandeep]

Ah with reference to the timer just staying on "Monitoring" as mentioned in my last post. It seems that it only reads the input time whilst formatted. So maybe you could run a little check to ensure the colon is present, otherwise it doesn't work.

That or separate the hours from the minutes into two little text boxes.

I actually did separate them while I was doing it but then I ran into a lot of extra un-needed coding where the same result can come from a single text box.

There's also the issue where the time works only if you enter the following:

- For 12:04 you need to enter 12:4

Everything else works fine, I'll implement a way that you can use any time format such as 1204 and 0004 atm it's simple.

 

[sandeep]

Suggestion: automatic shutdown if the cpu temperature reaches a certain threshold.

I may be able to implement a core temp module so it uses coretemp for cpu measurement, but I'll have to talk to Arthur from coretemp about that.

 

[sandeep]

There will def be a cpu temp module added in the next version
