PC Sleep Timer

I found this on a site, and I hope it may be helpful for some.

if you run this script, you can choose in how many minutes the PC must shut down, which might come in handy if you're downloading something and you want to shut down your PC after that, or if you're running a cheat program

Anyway, this is the code :

on error resume next
a = InputBox("After how many minutes must the PC shut down ?: " & vbcrlf & vbcrlf &"60 minutes is 1 hour....", "�hi-tech-web.com - PC sleep timer!", "Your time in minutes.")
If a = clear Then
Wscript.Quit
end if
If a < 1 Then
MsgBox "this number is too small!!!", Vbcritical ,"�hi-tech-web.com - PC sleep timer!"
Wscript.Quit
End if
do
Wscript.sleep 60000
a = a - 1
loop until a = 0
Set OpSysSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
for each OpSys in OpSysSet
OpSys.ShutDown()
next
Msgbox ("The PC is now shutting down."), vbCritical, "�hi-tech-web.com - PC sleep timer!"
Wscript.Quit

Just copy that in notepad, and save it somewhere as .vbs

Then simply click on it, and enter the time in minutes you want it to shut down in

I got it from that site, but it's in Dutch, so good luck figuring it out I can translate more scripts from that page if anyone wants me too...

 

hey that's cool !

Another option would be to use shutdown.exe (included with most windows versions) It can be scheduled with your "scheduled tasks" (found in accesories, system tools, I think) works pretty well too ! and you can set it to shutdown each night at a specific time.

use shutdown.exe /? to see the different options you can use with it.

 

Yeah I know, there are even more ways. I've got a simpler one too, if anyone wants that, it's in Batch.
