Thread: AMP WinOFF

AMP WinOFF is an utility designed to schedule the shut down of Windows computers, with several shut down modes and fully configurable.

AMP WinOFF


really usefull utility if you don't want to wait until, for example a torrent finishes in the night

looks good i used in the past Shutdown4U but ill try this one out and see if it works better.

I've got a question here:

Is there a part of Windows that has a built-in operation where one could shut down Windows directly through the OS itself without the use of some app like this one??

I know the shutdown command to shutdown windows (in XP), and it supports some switches. Just type shutdown with no arguments in a command prompt window to see the syntax. And with some DOS coding skills you could make some batch file.

alpacino is right. You could use the Task Scheduler to make the following command run at a certain time:

Code:

shutdown -s -f -t 0

It'll 'f'orce a 's'hutdown. The -t 0 is to prevent the "Windows is about to shut down" window from showing up - useless since you won't be there.

The easiest way for a sheduled shutdown is:

Code:

shutdown -s -t x

x = time to wait until shutdown in seconds
