Dextronet Announces Release of Version 3.50 of SmartSleep, Very User-friendly and Useful Shutdown Utility for Windows with Scheduling and Unique Functions

This program allows users to schedule following tasks: Shutdown, Reboot, Log Off, Suspend, Hibernate, Display Black Screen, Display Message (user defined), Execute File (user defined).

The shutdown actions can be performed by an easy to setup one-off timer working relatively (e.g. 30 minutes from now) or absolutely (e.g. 12:00:00). It's also possible to use the powerful inbuilt shutdown scheduling manager.

The scheduling manager can handle hundreds of scheduled tasks to perform. Adding a scheduled task, the user can setup SmartSleep to either perform it every day, once, or only on specified days of the week (eg. weekend only, Fridays and Sundays only etc). The user can also simply activate or deactivate the tasks with a single mouse click.

The SmartSleep option "Display Black Screen During Countdown" saves the life of your monitor. Music lovers may appreciate another excellent feature. SmartSleep can gradually reduce the speaker volume during countdown. This is a lovely feature for anyone who is listening to music before falling asleep.

Numerous configuration options provide the user with a high level of customization. SmartSleep can force the shutdown, so the computer will be shutdown always, even if unresponsive tasks are running. It's also possible to turn on the shutdown confirmation message window with given timeout to confirm or prevent the scheduled shutdowns. SmartSleep can also launch any application (or execute shell command) with specified parameters and then wait specified time before performing the computer shutdown or reboot.

The SmartSleep can be configured to run minimized at the system startup and automatically start the countdown. The minimizing can be customized too, the utility can be minimized either normally or to the system tray (small icon next to the system clock), so it doesn't consume the taskbar space.

Another feature of scheduling is the option to set a maximal delay to ensure performing of action in extraordinary conditions. For example, if you set maximal delay of 5 seconds, and the shutdown is to be performed at 12:00:00, and by chance at that time your computer freezes for 4 seconds, the action will still be performed. This feature combined with the ability to force shutdown makes SmartSleep a reliable tool to shutdown your computer.

To ensure the shutdown in precise time, the SmartSleep contains an inbuilt accurate atomic clock synchronization feature. You can synchronize your system clock using a chosen time server.

Advanced users will appreciate the large list of command line parameters that SmartSleep supports.

SmartSleep 3.50 runs under Windows 98/ME/2K/XP/2003. The cost is $19.95 (USD). This affordable price includes free lifetime technical support and updates. We also offer a 60-day money back guarantee.
