Solved Shutdown Timer I made

[sandeep]

is there a command line function for the program? Can I load it on startup via command line execution and have it, for example, restart (or log out) upon 30 minutes of idle activity? Looks like idle is added to the next version based on the pic.

The program does not have a command line option but it does have an auto activate option. So when the program is being run it automatically activates.

And yes there will be an idle module in built.

Yes but there's no way then to have it start automatically with a certain shutdown setting upon system startup? It'd have to start , then be set manually, and then it would auto-activate when triggered. Correct?

Sorry I didn't state before that if you go to the settings there is an option called auto activate under the general tab. You can enable auto activation here.

Hey this is great Great program Works a treat

 

[sandeep]

Great stuff, can I ask if that was version 3.1?

Also things needed testing in version 3.1

- Wake up Timer
- Network Usage
- Password protection (Can be activated in settings > Security)

Working really well here. Startup is considerably snappier and the new stuff in 3.1 seems to be working flawlessly. However I think you should add a "Confirm password" field in security.
One thing though, when i choose the option " Auto Activate when Shutdown Timer runs" and I choose "Networking" I'm getting the below errors.
Otherwise, great work as usual and a big thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the feedback

I think the problem it's looking at is that is has no activation method, if you look at the config.ini file there problem is no action value. Try just entering Shutdown in after the = and see if that fixes it. If it does then I'll issue a fix in the program.

Hi Everyone,

I know there hasn't been an update for a very long time, it was mainly due to my University degree, and now it's complete I can carry on with the project.

Within the next week or so I will be rolling out a new website, this website will be very simple and provide straight-forward details and also a way to download Shutdown Timer without any confusion. Also a wiki is under development for all help documentation to be included about Shutdown Timer.

As for Shutdown Timer, I think version 3.1 is near enough complete, now I just need some testers to make sure everything is running as it should! Please download and extract the updated "Final" release of Shutdown Timer 3.1 before it goes live within the next few weeks.

Getting better and better, feels snappier than previous versions and more stable. I now consider this THE shutdown timer. Great work!!!

Thanks a lot! I do have a list of changes for the next version and it'll be much more better. I'm looking at making it much more lightweight and to bring the memory usage down.
