EMCO Remote Shutdown for Windows

User Reviews

• Does not work as advertised, fraudulent marketing

  tom_binkleyJuly 28, 2005

  Pros

  Quite a lot of features. Large amount of help pages, which is good because interface leaves much to be desired.

  Cons

  I want to power off, not to shut down. But it does not work right. <p>Also does not install completely. <p> <p>It's so fraudulent to specify a much lesser price here! Fool people just to stimulate downloads! No wonder if this is not the only place, where they fool us!

• Nice, but with a few limitations

  July 22, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The software works as promised, but the version listed here, 1.4, has limited capability since it's free. I scheduled a job for just about midnight at my company, but it changes the time to PM instead of AM. The developer tells me that you have to buy version 2.0 to have full scheduling. Also, it's impossible to schedule a job for "today". If you schedule a job for today, it will change the date to tomorrow to avoid "recursion"...why, I don't know. But the program is nice and pretty easy to use.

• It crashes too often and won't shut down a machine because

  May 8, 2002

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  It crashes too often and won't shut down a machine because a confirmation dialog box pops up on the machine being shut down to warn them that shutting down will disconnect the user attached to their machine, thus there has to be a user at the manhine being shut down. I guess they didn't consider this. They didn't include a workaround for it.
