Do you ever forget to turn off your computer, so it ends up running all night? Or do you have a
server which needs to be rebooted periodically, but it can only be done in the middle of the
night when no one is using it? Or maybe your teenager stays up all night chatting on the
Internet, and you want to make sure they go to bed in a timely fashion. Purple Parrot System
Shutdown will automatically shut down or restart the computer on a schedule you define.
A new feature in version 2.3 is the option (in Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003) to setup the
shutdown scheduler as a service. In this way, the Purple Parrot System Shutdown can continue to
execute even if no user signs on to the computer.
A new feature in version 3.0 is the ability to use a password to prevent users from stopping a
scheduled shutdown, from changing the program's options and shutdown schedule, or from turning
off the scheduler.
A new feature in version 3.1 is the ability to maintain your computer clock's accuracy by
synchronizing with an Internet time server. In this way, you can further prevent tampering with
the program's shutdown process by stopping users from manually adjusting the clock.
