A_ShutDown gives you an easy and thorough time controlled and automatic way to shutdown, restart or log off your system with optional power off and shutdown forcing (no questioning).

A Countdown Counter (visual and acoustic) enables to cancel the system shutdown within a time period of 10 seconds. It has also a built in alarm clock function (alarm sound).

Optionally it will protect the computer while you are absent. You can also launch a program (and wait for exit) before shutdown e.g. to start your daily backup program.

All actions (log off, shut down, restart, etc. including system crash info) together with time and userID will be stored in a log file.

Synchronization from your system clock to the exact time using the Internet can be done manually or automatically.
