1. Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shut Down Expert is a utility software designed for a programmed shut down of the computer and extended to support other programmable events too. It must work under any 32 bit Windows operating system.
It supports more type of events:
	- Shut Down (to shut down the computer)
	- Restart (to restart the computer)
	- Log Off (to log off the current user)
	- Turn Off Monitor (to turn off the display)
	- Screen Saver (to turn the screen saver on)

	- Standby/Hibernate (The computer stores whatever it has in memory on its hard disk and then shuts down. When it comes out of hibernation, it returns in its previous state. This choice is available only for Win2000 and XP)
	- Start Application (to execute an application)
	- Close Application (to close an application)
	- Capture Screen (to capture the screen in a bitmap)
	- Message (this option will give a message alert)
	- Send Message (this option will send a message to other computers. You should eneter in the Parameters edit box the destination computer's IP address (or name in the local network) and the message, separeted by space. This event is available only on NT platforms)
	
	At the setting of the event's execution time you can choose between 3 options:
	- You can specify exactly the date and the time of the event

	- You can specify an interval of time relative to a specified date and time
	- You can specify an interval of time relative to the actual moment

The settings will be available after a power failure or a restart of the computer too.
You can specify more events in the same time and the events will be executed in the order of the time specification.	
The program will monitor the lifetime of the battery and will show it in a chart. You can get more information about your battery status pressing the Info button.
This is a very useful feature for portable computers.
