TIMER FOR COMPUTERS

There are times when one needs to schedule a shutdown of the computer after a predefined interval of time. Maybe you are running a virus scan or downloading something from the internet. Although some programs have an options for auto-shutdown after performing their tasks, many others don’t.
Scheduled Shutdown is very simple Java application that lets us shutdown our computer after a specified interval of time. With Scheduled Shutdown – we can shutdown our computer from a period of 1 minute to – 12 hours
Scheduled Shutdown is a small (~1 Mb) freeware software. Once you install it you can access it via the start menu. The program has just a single window where you can set the shutdown interval.
When you set the interval you would get a notice about the shutdown interval in system tray.
Once you have set the shutdown the “Cancel” button is highlighted – You can click on it to cancel the shutdown timer.
if you cancel the shutdown schedule – you would be notified in the system tray.
As we can see above – Scheduled Shutdown is a very easy to use app and quite useful when you need a small program that would shut down or restart the computer after pre-defined interval.

ANOTHER WAY TO DEVELOP A TIMER BY YOURSELF (no software needed):


its quite simple to make a sheduled shutdown timer for your pc all by your self using nothing but noted.
Here goes the trick....
1)Open notepad:
write the following there ,exactly :


shutdown -s -t time (in time give the time after which you wish your pc to get shutdown ,but mention the time in seconds..... example: shutdown -s -t 3600 if you wish to shutdown your pc after 1 hour)


2)then save the notepad with any name but with .bat extension (example :timer.bat)


now your timer is ready, whenever you need this timer ,just double click on this .bat file you have made and your timer will start, and your pc will shutdown after the specified time.
