Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program is a stand alone exe, so copy it in your favorite
tool's place and create a link in your startup folder.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Application docks at your system tray, just look for the
shutdown icon nearby the time on the taskbar. Left-klick it to
open the user interface, right-klick it to enter the user menu,
hold mouse to view the current status as hint.
User Interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The user interface is divided into the sections OPTIONS and ACTION.
- First you have to choose weather you want to shutdown, reboot or
logoff your windows system. Next you select the time of that action.
- Either you choos to exit windows in a specified amount of minutes or
hours (0 will lead to instant exit !!!) or to exit windows at an
spezial time.
- You can choose to destroy those processes which don't respond
the friendly sent terminate signal at shutdowntime with the
force option (enabled by default :-)
Once you enabled the Timer, the current settings are stored in your registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Redox\Shutdown, the following values are created :
- action (0=PowerOff, 1=Shutdown 1=Reboot, 3=Logoff)
- force (0=force active, 1=don't force)
- command (e.g. "a1000" means "at 10:10 localtime", "i2h" means "in two hours")
