| automatic shutdown | Jan 24, 2007 |
there are lots of program to automatically shut down your computer. starting from commercial ones, such as autoshutdown pro, to freewares, such as auto shutdown, which can be downloaded here: http://www.konradp.com/products/auto_shutdown/
i can't give recommendation on which one is the best, as i don't use any. my suggestion is for you to try the free one first.

| Download managers | Jan 24, 2007 |
If you are leaving your computer on to download large files, use a download manager.
Most (?) should have an option "shut down computer when finished downloading".
I can't recommend anything specific. There are very many download managers around. I use DAP (www.speedbit.com).

| shut-down//power options | Jan 24, 2007 |
You have control over your computer's shut down. Check "power options".
First click on start, then choose "control panel", then click on "power options". There are several choices, so you can decide what you want to do.

| Try this one | Jan 24, 2007 |
Download this one from my website: http://ftp.joey.cz/shutdown.zip
It supports Czech, English and German. It can shutdown your computer at certain time or there is a countdown feature.

| My favourite: Shutdown scheduler | Jan 24, 2007 |
By Damian Pasternak. It can be used to shut down or hibernate the machine after a given time, or when a given application closes.
In the evening I start my backup utility, then Shutdown scheduler, and I tell it to shutdown the computer when the backup program closes.
It works fine.

You may have to be your PC's local admin or at least Power user to do this.
On windows 2000 or windows xp:
Start->Control Panel (Classic View)->Scheduled tasks->Add a scheduled task->Next->Browse
Create a one-liner batch file, e.g., c:\>test.bat with the following line:
shutdown -s
Select the time you want your PC down in the Scheduled tasks.

Try "shutdown -s" on the command line first (interactively), if succeeded, try the scheduled job by setting it at, say 10 minutes, down the track to be sure that it has worked before setting it up for production.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Linux, you need to have the privilidge to run the cron job:
crontab -e
Select the time you want your PC down and create a one liner:
init 0 or shutdown -h 0 or halt
Do a man cron, man init, man shutdown. Be sure that one of or all of these shell commands have worked for you before setting up the cron job for production.
In both cases, the OSes themselves allow for timed shutdown by (privilidged) users.

On Windows, start up a command prompt (Start-->Run-->cmd) and type:
shutdown -s -t
This will shutdown your computer in t seconds. If you want to restart, use -r.
Examples:
shutdown -s -t 0
shut down right now
shutdown -r -t 3600
restart in 60 minutes (3600 seconds)

This comes in handy when you want a print job to finish but you are on your way out the door, and it is also helpful when things get locked up on your computer. The command prompt is a relatively dumb program so it can sometimes work when other programs are clogged up.
