Timed shutdown
I was doing yum update on my Fedora box and the update process was far from finished but I had to go somewhere for the rest of the day. I didn’t want to leave my computer running the whole time I was gone, I felt the need for application that will shutdown my computer in given time.
So I wrote Timed Shutdown. It was a one day job, a couple of hours actually, but I does exactly what I need. A simple GUI where you can set the time and select an action Shutdown(which executes poweroff command in given time) or Reboot(which executes reboot command). You click on Start button and leave.
Well you can quit the program if you changed your mind in the process.
It’s not perfected yet. I’ll probably add time countdown in progressbar, so user can see how much time remains and some other minor adjustments.
And yes It’s Mono ! You need to have Mono installed to run it. Why ? Because I don’t really care, I wrote it for my use and writing apps in Mono is easy and fun. There you have it.
Oh and it can be found in Projects page on this site.
UPDATE: I added gtransset application to Project site too, check it out.
