Make Your Own Auto-Shutdown Timer!!!

There are basically three ways to make an auto-shutdown timer. These are all DoS tricks. U may be knowing if u r good in DOS. Its very easy and does not any external software.

Method 1:-
This method is implemented by creating a batch file and providing the time in which the computer needs to be shutdown.

Create a file ""shutdown.bat"

Type the following code:

@echo off
title Scheduled Shutdown Batch Example by chacha1234
color A
echo Enter Time To Shutdown (example 19:30)
set /p stime=
cls
at %stime% ""shutdown -s -t 00"" >nul
echo PC Will Shutdown At %stime%
echo Press Any Key To Exit
pause >nul
exit


METHOD 2:-

Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 10:45am.

Then Goto Start->Run
Type Code: at 10:45 shutdown -s

To Abort The Auto-Shutdown

Code: shutdown -a

take note: all time are in 24hr, example u would like to shutdown at 9:30pm, you should type
"at 21:30 shutdown -s" without quotes


METHOD 3:-

Step 1:
Right click on your desktop and choose "New->shortcuts".

Step 2:
In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
type in "shutdown -s -t xxxx" without the quotation marks and click next.

Note: xxxx are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down.
For example If u want to auto-shutdown after 1 hr then type "3600" without quotes because 60secs*60mins=3600secs.

Step 3:

Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
You can change the icon by right c=>properities=>change icon=>browse.

To abort

To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.
