Shutdown Vaccine® is a versatile software that automates Windows functions like shut down, log off, and reboot. It allows users to schedule predefined tasks to run at specific times or when the PC is inactive.
If you're looking for a powerful utility that automates the shut down, log off reboot and many Windows functions, look no further than Shutdown Vaccine. This software is designed to act as a traffic cop and allow certain tasks to function at predefined times. Plus, thanks to its built-in Power-Smart technology, you can shut down your computer if it is inactive for a specified period of time (idle-time).
One of the standout features of Shutdown Vaccine is the ability to perform remote shutdowns for Networked PC's. This software also supports command-line operations and the creation of batch files for any selected action.
Shutdown Vaccine is especially useful for computer labs and public access PC's. This software can automate most PC power related tasks, making it easy to perform a nightly shutdown of computers in a computer lab. Rather than having to go to each computer individually, you can configure Shutdown Vaccine to turn off each workstation at a particular time or date, saving computer administrators from having to perform the same manual tasks.
Another benefit of using Shutdown Vaccine is power savings. By incorporating smart shutdown policies, schools, businesses, and libraries can reduce their computer electricity usage by over 30 percent. A typical desktop PC uses about 65 watts, and adding another 80 watts for a 17" CRT monitor (35 watts for an LCD) means that a typical computer uses about 1.5 to 2 light bulbs' worth of energy.
To put this into perspective, here's an example: Watts x Hours Used / 1000 x Cost per kilowatt-hour = Total Cost. If you have 100 PC's on throughout the year, the cost will be $4,779. If you have 1,000 PC's on throughout the year, the cost will be $47,850. If you have 10,000 PC's on throughout the year, the cost will be $480,000.
Finally, Shutdown Vaccine can identify a system that has become idle. When this feature is activated, Shutdown Vaccine will automatically perform an action if no keyboard or mouse activity is detected. Overall, Shutdown Vaccine is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to save time and money on PC power related tasks.
