Auto Shutdown Trigger 1.1
uto Shutdown Trigger is a PC auto shutdown software that shuts down computer when certain condition is met. Sometimes I need to shut down computer automatically without manual operation such as when file download is completed at night while I am asleep, or I would like to go to sleep with several hours' music. I first resort to Windows' Task Scheduler which can start a task at specific time. Unfortunately, I cannot find an option for timed shutdown there. Later, I searched google and found an auto shut down cmd called shutdown.exe, but till now I have not fully understood its complicated parameters like shutdown.exe -l, shutdown.exe -m,shutdown.exe -s-t, shutdown.exe -f. Then I tried several auto shutdown programs or so called auto shutdown managers on the Internet, but none worked as I expected. I remember for two days one of these shutdown schedulers(which is a freeware) just could not power off my computer and I waked up in the morning seeing the computer was still powered on with that program running. In the end I have to give up trying those free auto shutdown programs and begin to write my own software: Auto Shutdown Trigger. Besides working as a computer shutdown timer, Auto Shutdown Trigger can do some special and unique things. More specifically, Auto Shutdown Trigger can
1) schedule shutdown/reboot at specified time point or after given peroid(interval),
2) auto power off/auto reboot when the text on a program's window becomes what you want.
3) shutdown/reboot/logoff your computer when an area on the screen becomes what you want.
4) automatically shut down/turn off/restart when certain program starts to run or exit. You can specify the program by its name or PID(process id) which can be found in the task manager). Auto Shutdown Trigger keeps monitoring the status of the program and shuts down PC when qualified.
The settings to adjust the interval of checking the text on the window, or the status of the program are also available.
