Auto shutdown

[adik2dmax666]

Is there a script that will check if the mouse has not been clicked for a while and the keyboard was not pressed. If mouse is not clicked and the keyboard has not been pressed for 1 hour then force shutdown pc.

Im very annoyed because my brother always leaves the pc open when he sleeps and our electric bills has skyrocketed because of that.

I've search for scripts that will execute some task after the timer has done its loop

Global Const $Minutes = 30
Global $60Count = 0, $begin = TimerInit()

While  $Minutes > $60Count
;check if mouse and keyboard are idle
sleep(1)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
$Count = int($dif/1000)
$60Count = Int($Count / 60)
WEnd        

call("_forceshutdown") 

Func _forceshutdown()
    Shutdown(5)  ;Force a shutdown
    MsgBox(0, "Automatic program", "!! Shutting down !!",15)
EndFunc

Controlling automatic PC shutdown via script that polls for user input is very inefficient and unreliable. All Windows versions from Win95 on provide built-in mechanisms to achieve what you need: go to Control Panel -> Energy Options and configure there the timeouts to trigger stand-by or hibernate (soft-off). Further options (log-off, shutdown) offers a screensaver Winexit freely available from Microsoft. Edited April 13, 2010 by doudou

Yup. Control Panel -> Power Options is the way.

Just set a hibernate idle time. If power bills are your issue, you can also set a monitor power off on idle too.
