What Are The Advantages Of AllOff Over The Features Built Into Windows?
You can define when the functions are activated - either after a fixed delay or a fixed time and get the opportunity to cancel shutdown rather than it just happening. There is more flexibility in the timing. AllOff can also shut down one remote computer at the same time. The program will not be fooled by a stuck key or mouse button. Optionally an open program will not stop computer shutdown. It is also possible to set a fixed shutdown time, either independently or in conjunction with the other options. A readily accessible history of use is available. It can apply to all users making configuration easier and more consistent. CPU level detection, keyboard and mouse detection plus fixed time shutdown can be enabled or disabled as required. CPU load monitoring is averaged making it suitable for handling short term variations in CPU load.

Does AllOff Work On Multi Core/Multi Processor Machines?

Does AllOff Record My Keystrokes?
No AllOff only detects the fact a key has been operated not which key has been pressed.
Can Remote Shutdown Be Used On A System Running A DHCP Server?
Yes provided you use the computer names but if you use AllOff with IP addresses the computers with AllOff or AllOff Slave installed must have the IP addresses set to fixed on the DHCP server. This point only applies if the slave program is used.
