Title: Sleep Timer?
Post by: simpleuser99 on March 11, 2003, 08:43:41 pm

:P
Hi everyone,
   I was wondering if anyone knows of a sleep timer so I can close MC and shut down WinXP after a set amount of time?
   I could swear I saw something either inMC or as a plug-in once before but I forgot where it was.
   Well, that is basically it.
   Keep up the amazing work on this gem. :)

Gary

Go to START  RUN  type shutdown.exe -s -t 3600 hit ENTER ;D

this will cause the computer to shutdown in one hour

3600 seconds

use different numbers for different times  :-*

Go to START  RUN  type shutdown.exe -a

to ABORT the previous shutdown countdown

wind you "mates" up by creating a short cut placed in their startup folder ...
shutdown.exe -s -t 30
Computer shuts down after 30 seconds ;D ;D
