DESCRIPTION
AllOff monitors the mouse, keyboard and CPU load and initiates computer shutdown if there has been no keyboard or mouse activity and the average CPU load has been below the threshold set for the specified time. It can be started manually, on start up or automatically via the Windows Task Scheduler. The program activates a preset period after starting or at a preset time and shuts down a preset period after shutdown is initiated unless shutdown is cancelled. By default the program runs in the System Tray.
The CPU load and many other parameters can be configured via the configuration screen, this screen gives details of the parameters and their limits. In a lot of cases the default values will not need changing. The default values will trigger computer shutdown if there is no keyboard and mouse activity for 600 seconds and the CPU load has been less than 20% for the last 60 seconds of the 600 seconds. Shutdown, Power Off and Reboot have been configured to force all running applications to close. By installing a slave program it can also be used to shutdown a remote computer. It is also possible to turn off CPU level detection or Keyboard/Mouse detection.
This program requires a registration code to run. This code, which is free for personal non commercial use, can be obtained from www.jsutils.com
