nightIMPgale is a script for amaroK that enables users to configure their PC to shutdown after a playlist is completed. It provides an easy solution for automatic PC shutdown while enjoying music.
What's more impressive is its ability to execute a custom command before shutdown. The purpose of this command is to turn down the volume of your mixer, ensuring that no sound theme will be loud enough to wake you up if you've fallen asleep with amaroK playing in the background.
Unlike nightingale, which shuts down the system when the stop button is clicked, NightIMPgale will display a countdown before shutting down the system. This helps prevent surprises should you decide to stay up a little longer.
NightIMPgale was intended to work with amaroK version 3.8.1 or later and Python 2.4, requiring PyQT for operation. This software was written by a German developer, so some possible errors in spelling and grammar are to be expected.
Recent updates have made this script even more powerful. NightIMPgale is now a bash script, meaning it no longer relies on python bindings. Context menus have been added for easier use, eliminating the need to set up a special playlist. With its streamlined system shutdown process, NightIMPgale is now even more user-friendly.
