We use automatic shutdown of the computer in Windows

Every user of a personal computer has at least once, but the question arose, why does most of the popular operating systems not include the program for automatically shutting down the computer? In the famous Windows from Microsoft, yet through the scheduler of tasks somehow this possibility is realized, but it can not be called convenient and understandable. Why is it uncomfortable? Yes, because to get to, actually, the scheduler itself, you need to press a dozen buttons, follow the confusing and unobvious paths, and, of course, still remember the order of actions. In the Linux system also: without knowledge of the disconnect command on the schedule, there is nothing to do. It seems that the Chevalier developers believe that the automatic shutdown of the computer is a whim, which is used by the units. After analyzing search requests and chatting with simple users, you can argue - this feature should be implemented by a separate program. Many would say "thank you", create them on the Start menu link to a small application that allows you to automatically turn off the computer. This program exists, although from third-party developers-enthusiasts. How can you not remember the wisdom of the mountain and Mohammed! It is possible that in future versions of operating systems the automatic shutdown of the computer will be available to everyone, well, for now consider the above-mentioned alternative.

In fact, there are a lot of such programs: from very simple ones, in which only the shutdown time can be set; Up to the present applications-combines, incorporating many useful (and not so) additional functions. Automatically shutting down the computer by simply setting the timer is the easiest to understand, but the scope of using this method is very limited. But if there is such a solution, then there is demand. So, we meet the first candidate for the role of a computer switch - OFFTimer. Still, it is more convenient to use a software product that implements an extended automatic shutdown of the computer. Here, too, everything is simple and intuitive: we set the desired time off by the timer and, here it is - innovation, day of the week. Due to this, the flexibility of tuning increases substantially, although the principle of operation remains the same. Such a program is difficult to recommend for general use, because, in principle, there are a few tasks in which you need to set the time to disable hard. The ability to wake the computer from the sleep mode by the timer does not fundamentally change the situation. But, maybe, who needs - Auto Power-on Shut-down. At once we will make a reservation: some products are paid, therefore we carefully read the descriptions before downloading from the Web.

With a large number of alternative software solutions, since the beginning of 2000 on the Internet, you can download an amazing application-harvester - PowerOff. Each user is recommended to have it on the hard drive - often helps out. In addition, already classics, turn off the timer and day of the week, PowerOff is able to take into account the activity of network controllers / modems, processor load and the work of the popular player Winamp. In practice, it looks like this: after setting up CPU monitoring , you can safely watch your favorite movie even late at night, not being afraid to fall asleep, because after the playback is finished, the system boot will decrease, which will register PowerOff and turn off the computer power. Also, you can safely turn on the music in the Winamp player - after the list is complete, the power will be turned off. Well, monitoring network activity is extremely useful function. Now there is no need to wait for the completion of the download: configure PowerOff, put the download, turn off the monitor and go on their own business. The computer downloads the selected one and automatically turns off.
