CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This drab application lets you shut down, restart, or log off your computer at a predetermined time, but it's easily outclassed by other programs in the market. Using Shutdown's ultraplain interface, you can schedule any of the three shutdown options on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. You also can immediately initiate a shutdown function from the program's Start menu folder, though it's just as easy to use the standard Windows method. Shutdown worked OK in testing, but its only remarkable feature is its ability to passsword-protect your shutdown settings. Other than that, nothing sets it apart from other programs in this category, including superior freeware options. Anyone can use Shutdown, but given the multitude of more feature-rich shutdown programs on the market, few will be satisfied with its limited functionality.

Publisher's description

From Purple Parrot :

Don't you ever forget to turn off your computer, so it ends up running all night? Or do you have a server which needs to be rebooted periodically, but it can only be done in the middle of the night when no one is using it? Or maybe your teenager stays up all night chatting on the Internet, and you want to make sure he/she goes to bed in a timely fashion. Purple Parrot System Shutdown will automatically shut down or restart the computer on a schedule you define.

What's new in this version:

Version 3.2 adds an enhanced ability to enforce parental-defined computer curfews by continuing to shut down Windows for up to 24 hours after scheduled shutdown.
