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.

    He he, there is amost no need for packaging, you can simply create launcher with this command: mono “path/to/timed_shutdown.exe”
    If you have mono installed ofcourse.

    Do you think you would ever use it ? :P

    Yea, I’d use it. I think it’s a nice feature and ought to be placed in there somewhere along with “Shutdown”, ‘Reboot”, “Suspend to disk” and so forth as “Timed action”. Problem is getting into that under KDE and GNOME would be… difficult (”that’s not usability!”, …) and they wouldn’t like it in mono…

    Couldn’t it be C/a variant of C or Python? ;)

    Maybe some GNOME dev will pick my idea. implement it in C and put it in GNOME… maybe. You know it’s not my goal to make it in GNOME base, very very few apps make it there, they need to be really good and well written in C.
    It’s enough for me to make something that users find useful and that it’s something new or maybe alternatives are not good enough. I don’t worry too much about these things. But if my app makes it to some Linux distro or like an extra package to distro, I’m happy.

    Talk some some of the guys on #gnome-devel@irc.gimp.org

    I’d definitely like to see it.

    It might be cool to add a feature permitting your app to shutdown/suspend/etc. based on a certain amount of time elapsed after the network and/or cpu usage has dropped below a certain threshold.
