Switch Off Manager

Switch Off Manager is a light piece of software that allows you to manage the shutdown and standby operations of your computer remotely or based on a schedule.

The application does not require setup, but rather you can unpack the archive in any desired location on your computer. Afterwards, you can launch the application or look over the readme file to find out the commands.

The idea behind the program is to provide you with a simple means to verify if there are any users using computers from remote locations so that you can power them off or put them on standby. Not only does this help you cut down on your electricity bill, but it can also save you time, as you no longer need to be in the same room as the PC to power it off.

A noteworthy feature of the application is that you can configure it to scan for logged on users on a given computer periodically. It goes without saying that the app can save you a lot of hassle when you are monitoring a PC that is used by multiple remote users. Whenever the computer is not in use, you can put it in standby mode or shut it down.

Last, but not least important, you can add the tool to the Windows task scheduler. Consequentially, you can configure it to check the desired system on regular intervals so that you can take the necessary the necessary actions. On a side note, the app mainly helps you power off and shutdown PCs, so you cannot perform other operations on the computers you are managing.

If you are managing a small to medium network and you want to make sure that the PCs are closed when not in use by any logged users, then Switch Off Manager could come in handy.
