JSutils has just released an update to DownOff. The Installer and executable are now digitally signed plus help has been updated. DownOff monitors the average download rate and initiates computer shutdown if the download rate has been below a specified percentage for a preset time. It can also be used to shutdown a remote computer. DownOff supports all the normal shut down modes. Uses of DownOff include managing large file downloads from the internet (either HTTP or FTP) and large file transfers over a network, shutting down the computer when the download has completed. It can be started via the Windows Task Scheduler, on start up or manually at the same time as a download is initiated.

JSutils has just released an update to LANOff. The Installer and executable are now digitally signed plus there have been some other minor changes. LANOff monitors up to four remote computers from a client computer and optionally shuts down the client and specified remote computers when the network fails or the specified computer shuts down. Various parameters can be set via the configuration screen. This was designed to be used in conjunction with CPUOff to enable a backup server to be shut down automatically once several computers on a local network had completed their backups. It can also be used on it’s own. LANOff supports all the normal shut down modes. The program operates by interrogating each remote computer via a small slave program once a second. Up to four remote computers can be monitored or controlled with shutdown being initiated when connection to all computers is lost. Uses of LANOff include monitoring up to four computers connected to a server shutting down the server when it is no longer needed or shutting down up to four computers connected to a server when the server shuts down. It can be started via the Windows Task Scheduler, on start up or manually.

JSutils has just updated water use calculator EnCalcLU. Installer and executable now digitally signed. Archive results log function added.
