power options

[Carl]

Hey Tom,

There is.

Perhaps the simplest way is to go Start --> Run and type:

at 02:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su tsshutdn /powerdown

this will add a scheduled task to shut the computer down
every day of the week at 2AM (put in whatever time you
want, but it's in 24hr time, that is, 00:00 is midnight,
and 23:59 is 11:59PM).

It'll give you a 1 minute warning, and then a 30 second
warning before shutting off. If you want to be able to
cancel the shutdown, run the following instead:

at 02:00 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su
tsshutdn /powerdown

And when it warns you that it's shutting down, it'll also
pop up a dos-box window. To cancel the shutdown, click on
it and hit Ctrl-C (C for Cancel, not Copy)

If you want it to shut down immediately each time with no
warning, run this:

at 02:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su tsshutdn
0 /powerdown /delay:0


If you ever want to mess with it, you can open up
Scheduled Tasks in the control panel, otherwise, if you
just want to delete job (to not run anymore), run:

at 1 /d


hope this helps,
Carl

Is there a command to make the computer restart at specified times?
