Mortens ShutDown

-Mortens ShutDown- is a tool to shut down a computer at a specific date and time. It is simple to use: Setup a time when your computer shall shut down and run the application. There are several shut down modes supported as there are a simple user log-off, or restart or shutdown or power off the computer. Running applications that would prevent the computer from shutting down can be automatically killed. You can setup -Mortens ShutDown- to warn you before it really shuts down the computer. Furthermore you can abort the shut down procedure or change the time settings (remotely) during run by changing the INI-file.

In addition this tool can be used to control the launch of any application (from a remote computer) via an INI file. This allows e.g. the following:
Setup a folder from where -Mortens Shutdown- will poll an INI file and react on changes made in it. If you setup this folder as a network share, you can easily modify any setting (e.g. application to launch) remotely.

While -Mortens Shutdown- is running on the remote machine you can setup an application to launch within the INI file. Once you have set the “launch” flag in the INI file -Mortens Shutdown- will trigger the launch of the requested application (script) on the remote machine.
Of course such operations can be protected by a password. The result (output) of the application (script) can be written in a logging file which can be monitored remotely, too.
