OT: Can I get my computer to shut down after a certain time?

Hurst2112 · 02-28-2006, 02:58 AM

I wanna be able to fall asleep to music or sportingnews radio. Is there a way to have your computer shut down after a certain amount of time? Sorta like an alarm clock 'sleep' feature?

I know I can go and change the power management scheme but that would mean I would have to change it back more often than not.

Is there a program that would allow this?

Thanks

If there isn't, I might be able to cobble you up something just for fun. You running Windows XP or something ancient?

Yet another indication that Hurst and I were separated at birth.

Perfect! Thanks gottimd.

Ksyrup...I got that call from the producers at the Lifetime network. They want to do a movie about us. I guess Joey Lawrence is playing me.

Brent Oberlin is playing me.

I've been on a Thought Industry kick lately.

Assuming windows XP, open a command prompt and type

shutdown -t time

where time is the time in seconds until shutdown.
