Simple Shutdown Timer
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 & 7

Program is pretty self explanatory. Put in the time and click start. When the time reaches 0 the computer will shut down and power off (if able to power off).

The program supports 2 command lines

Example 1:
SimpleShutdownTimer.exe /sleepnow

This will put the system into standby mode, no count down, no icons.

Example 2:
SimpleShutdownTimer.exe 02:30:00

This tells the program to set the time for 2 hours and 30 mins. and 0 sec. and to start the countdown.
This option allows you to run the program from a script without user input.

Who would need this program?
Well I made this program for myself and have used it for the last couple of years.
Basically when I am waiting for my computer to finish something up but I dont want to wait,
I need to head to bed or work or whatever then I want my system to shut down when it is done.
I dont need my power bill going up when Im not even using my system.
So I set the timer for how ever long I think my system needs to finish what it is doing.
If I need to come back or I dont want it to shutdown I can stop the timer, this is why I dont simply
use the built in windows shutdown.exe, yes I can start a countdown but I cant stop it!
So I made this and now Im sharing it. Its very simple and sometimes simple is better.

Need anything? Have questions?
