CPUOff Version 4 Released
Friday, January 19th, 2007CPUOff has been around for about 18 months and is designed to solve the problem of turning off a computer after a task such as an overnight backup has finished enabling a job to be started and left knowing the computer will poweroff after the job has finished. It will even shut down a second computer at the same time. CPUOff supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 and is simple to install. Just download the install file, double click on it, follow the on screen instructions, enter the registration code and if only one computer is used it will probably not need any changes to the configuration.
Version 4.0 introduces several changes to make the program simpler to set up and use plus fix a few small bugs.and improve it’s resilience to network failure when used to shut down a second computer. Configuration is now via a configuration screen rather than manually editing a configuration file. There is now a small program to install on a second computer to enable shutdown if the network fails. It no longer relies on third party software for its operation.
A typical use would be to set the computer to come on at a preset time overnight and start the backup program (backing the software up to an external hard drive) and CPUOff via the Windows task manager. Once the backup has completed the processor load will fall, CPUOff will detect this and after a preset time to check the load hasn’t risen again it will power off the computer. A similar process will work when one computer is backed up to another. It can also be used for other processor intensive tasks such as virus scanning and disk defragmentation.
