AutoShutdown is a Windows system shutdown manager. The software offers unattended control for a Windows PC: shutdown, restart, logoff, standby or hibernate your computer based on date/time, idle computer time, hot keys or a manually triggered command.

AutoShutdown can also monitor battery level in a notebook computer and act while there is still power available.
