Shut down bot

[JReinn]

I need a code, for a bot, that can turn your computer off, at a certain time. Like I bought this game once, and it ended downloading around 1 AM in the morning, and I needed to get up early, but I stayed up, because I don't want my computer on all night. So you can set the bot up, so you write hour in one textbox, and minutes in the other. You click start bot (or press a certain button, like F5 or something, and the bot starts). When the time becomes what you wrote (System time), the bot will shut down the computer.

Any fast help greatly appreciated.

Any fast help greatly appreciated.

You are kidding ...right ?

Did you bother to search or open the helpfile?

[JReinn]

Yes, I did.

[Jos]

Yes, I did.

..and ? found anything ?

[JReinn]

..and ? found anything ?

Nope, that's why I posted here.

[Jos]

Nope, that's why I posted here.

I am sorry but I simply do not believe you put ANY real effort in it for the simple fact that when you specify shutdown in the index AND search of the helpfile you will get hits for the required command.

Now if you are wondering why I refuse to help directly is because I do not like people coming here and ask for fast replies, that is in general an indication of a young impatient person.

Well this should work:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $wHour, $wMins, $isCounting = False

AdlibEnable("GetTime", 1000)

$hGui = GUICreate("Shutdown Bot", 297, 44, 307, 303)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hours:", 8, 8, 43, 17)
$mHour = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 56, 8, 49, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Mins:", 120, 8, 29, 17)
$mMins = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 152, 8, 57, 21)
$Start = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 216, 8, 75, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Start
            $rHour = GUICtrlRead($mHour)
            $rMins = GUICtrlRead($mMins)
            
            $isCounting = True; We're counting!
            While $isCounting = True
                If $wHour = $rHour And $wMins = $rMins Then
                    Shutdown(1); Shutdown
                EndIf
            WEnd
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func GetTime()
    $wHour = @HOUR
    $wMins = @MIN
EndFunc

Well this should work:

I have put some effort in searching, and I'm sorry I said "Fast response", but I really needed this.

Well this should work:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $wHour, $wMins, $isCounting = False

AdlibEnable("GetTime", 1000)

$hGui = GUICreate("Shutdown Bot", 297, 44, 307, 303)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hours:", 8, 8, 43, 17)
$mHour = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 56, 8, 49, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Mins:", 120, 8, 29, 17)
$mMins = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 152, 8, 57, 21)
$Start = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 216, 8, 75, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Start
            $rHour = GUICtrlRead($mHour)
            $rMins = GUICtrlRead($mMins)
            
            $isCounting = True; We're counting!
            While $isCounting = True
                If $wHour = $rHour And $wMins = $rMins Then
                    Shutdown(1); Shutdown
                EndIf
            WEnd
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func GetTime()
    $wHour = @HOUR
    $wMins = @MIN
EndFunc

Thanks for the code!

You are the best.

Your Dutch, I forgive you!

Could it be able to make a countdown timer (Tooltip text) that shows, when the computer turns off with hours, minutes & seconds?

[James]

I'm sure you could do that. Create a label and every second start counting down.

[JReinn]

I'm new to AutoIt... The code would be, like??? I don't understand you completely :/

[James]

Look at, GuiCtrlCreateLabel and GuiCtrlSetData.

I wonder if a better way to do this is simply look for the download to be done, then shutdown. What if the download hangs...

Oh, what are you on? dialup? or is the thing you are downloading a movie?
