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.
 
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.

Edit: Also, sorry for being ignorant, but what's this "when the system time is .." "in.."

Say it's set to 18:23 and then 5 minutes. Why not just have it set to 18:28 and do away with the second box?

And does it always say "Monitoring" until it turns off as I set it for 18:22 expecting it to change when it passed that time and it just stayed on "Monitoring"

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.
 
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.

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.
 
Just a little update.

The temperature module is now functioning 100%
The networking module still needs to be coded in as the code method I am using seems to cause a very big memory leak, so I'm still working on it.

Other fixes have been made on the software.

An update can be expected in the next day or two.

look at psshutdown from microsoft, this will let you expand the options a lot quicker

you can use it to do a shutdown command for all computers in computers.txt

computers.txt contents..

computer1
computer2
computer3


etc

psshutdown is owned by Microsoft
Click to expand...

Just quoting myself as I think you should check this out.. Wouldn't take long at all to modify the commands currently used as they are largely the same

The ability to run the desired command on a text file is the big improvement in it, would save you doing that bit yourself.

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.

Download and information here
 
That's weird, installed perfectly fine on mine.

Can you tell me what version you were using (32 or 64 Bit) and your OS.
