Super Shut Down is a new interface to shut down or restart your mac. This is a little application that you can lauch instead of using the "Shut Down" submenu of the Apple menu. You will recognize the features of the standart shut down interface, with more options : You can choose your startup disk in a menu. You can force, if you need, the restart or the shutdown. You can schedule restart, shutdown, sleep, and forced actions. You can personnalize every shortcut. You can add a delay to every button.Why a delay ? Because this is always when the Shutdown button is clicked that we realize we have forgotten to do something. So, a short delay is perfect to cancel the shutdown process.
Count the clicks.
This thing requires way too much enterprise from me.
I want to click once (shut down, OK?) but it buries the active window and persistently asks me to answer redundant questions.

I wish the presenters of this good idea would consult a few users now and again. Dudes, what are you thinking?? - talk to your customers.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a very handy little utility. I'm often switching between boot partitions and forgetting to hold down the option key, this will streamline the process.
Nice !

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A new version of Super Shut Down ! Nice, this utilitie is not dead ! I'm using the beta release since one year, without trouble.
Good point, the new release is better for security : the administrator password is now stored in the keychain, it is really more secure.
Works,but needs Work

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using this for about six months and I am looking forward to the Auto Start and Shutdown feature which is promised. In the mean time I find it useful for selecting Boot drives and OSs' . Although the the App unexpectantly quits and will on occasion not see a Volume as having a valid Bootable OS on it, While Apple's Start Up Disk works just fine. This Product is headed in the right direction for me But needs work on it. When some of the issues are addressed and the Auto Function is working I would not mind if it moved into shareware. Mind though if I find something else before then "I gone".
At this time I would not recommend this Pkg. to an average user.
It would be helpful if the developer gave out his E_Mail address.
Nothing here to see, keep moving on please......

I can start up my Compaq Presario 2.2Ghz notebook running Windoze XP Pro, check my email and then shut down, in less time than it takes for Jag-wire or Panther to just finish launching! I've gone to work and come back for lunch, and OS is still shutting down!
Now who makes a boated OS??
