Shutdown Timer can shutdown, restart, log off, lock, hibernate, and standby your system based on certain options, such as Date/Time; CPU and Memory Usage; CPU Temperature, Network Usage and Process. It is a feature full program which can also run in a portable manner, just simply download the portable version and run it from a USB stick. It also includes an updater so you can always get the latest version without constantly checking the Web site. Shutdown Timer can now Wake your system from sleep.
UI should be simpler make sense, use standard English, have a 12hr display option, and should not accept invalid characters for time input.
It is a complex, confusing and ineffective approach to a simple task.
Summary
I had to experiment just to understand the UI. It uses the following sentence to prompt for input:
When the system time is [ ] Now
in [ ] minutes
__ immediately
The "by Date" option is even worse:
When todays date is [ ]
at time [ ]
in [ ] minutes
_ Immediately
it accepts invalid input, like letters or punctuation in the time input field, without returning an error or prompt..
These are all major deficiencies in my view.
A feature full shutdown timer, just great to use.
