Hello Kathryn, thanks! :)


I'm not sure if you can once the shutdown has started but you can have a look at the "Conditions" tab to add some parameters, that may be a help.

Good job Ted, Nice walk through.

I like this little tidbit too, on the expire date.

I was hoping someone would enjoy that one.

I think you can set it to "stop if the computer ceases to be idle" in conditions thank you BFK

I know you can but it's too much to go into in the tutorial because there would be so many different situations to cover; I'm pleased you find it useful.

Subtle, but well placed.

I enjoyed it!

I just added this to the tutorial, it'll make it easier to use.

   Note

Be sure to have a look at the "Conditions" tab if you need to add any parameters that must be met before the task is able to run.
