ShutDownPro

Handling the power management actions on a computer is normally a quite straightforward job, since Windows offers all the necessary means. Nonetheless, there are numerous software solutions that were made to help make things even easier.

Scheduling a restart or having the system power off after a certain time interval are only a couple of examples of actions that are carried out a lot faster when the appropriate tools are at hand.

ShutDownPro is one such utility and its goal is to offer quick access to some of the most commonly used power commands. The installation is a breeze, so in a couple of moments it will be ready to be deployed.

The program runs minimized in the system tray, so it can be accessed with ease at all times. ShutDownPro stays away from view and runs silently in the background, without hindering in any way the overall performance of the PC.

The commands supported by this tiny tool include logoff, shutdown, reboot, standby and power off. What's more, ShutDownPro can be operated via command-line as well, provided the correct parameters are used.

The list of functions also contains the 'force' command, which will make it possible to carry out any of the above mentioned operations even if other applications are running and they may prevent the system from restarting, shutting down or any similar action.

For those who want to view the entire command-line feature lineup as well as the correct way of deploying ShutDownPro from a Ocmmand prompt window, the accompanying documentation should provide all the necessary details.
