Shutdown Action

Description

The Shutdown action shuts down the computer. As with the Reboot action, this step should always be the last step in your task, as a system shutdown will begin immediately which would cause problems or failure for any steps following that action.

Parameters

(None)

Notes

The shutdown action differs from the reboot action in that your computer will not reboot and reinitialize. Manual intervention will be required to turn the computer back on so that AutoMate™ will continue processing tasks.

Sorry folks, AutoMate™ cannot function when the computer is off. AutoMate™ will be unable to turn your computer back on – however we have heard reports of people using AutoMate™ to shut their computer down at a certain time in conjunction with a power timer that plugs into the socket to turn the system back in at the appropriate time.
