Automate System Tasks With Open Source PShutDown
PShutDown is a small open source tool that helps users schedule various computer related actions. For example, you may have to leave for office while you have a download running on your system, which might mean leaving the system on for the whole day. Which will obviously result in the consumption of unnecessary electricity and might cause any problems in case of an unexpected power surge (while you are not around).
To avoid this problem you can use PShutDown to schedule a shutdown time for your system. This can be scheduled as the approximate time after which you expect the download to complete. Likewise, you can schedule your computer to reboot, display reminders, switch off the monitor, log off the system, run an alarm and so on.
