XP Remote Timer : Trigger automatic shutdown actions, namely log off, shut down, and restart, at a custom number of hours, minutes, and seconds, and shut down or restart remote computers
XP Remote Timer is a small software application whose purpose is to help you trigger automatic shutdown sessions within your network. It gives network administrators the possibility to shut down or restart remote computers.
Save it on USB flash drives
You may take the tool with you all the time by simply dropping the executable file on pen drives or other portable devices. In addition, you can run it straight from the storage device.It does not leave entries in your Windows registry and create additional configuration items so you may get rid of it with a simple deletion task of the file that you have downloaded from the Internet. The best part about it is that you do not have to go through an installation process in order to gain access to the GUI. A double-click on the EXE file does the job.
Remote shutdown scheduler
XP Remote Timer offers you the possibility to schedule automatic actions, namely log off the current user, shut down the computer, or restart the PC. Only shutdown and restart sessions are supported in a network environment.What’s more, you are allowed to set the time in hours, minutes, and seconds, apply the target automatic action to the current computer or network machine, start or stop the timer, as well as build up a list with multiple computer names.The application offers you the possibility to import/export the names of computers and settings from/to a plain text file. Tests have pointed out XP Remote Timer carries out a task quickly. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected. On the downside, it has not been updated for a long time so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems, like Windows 10 and 8.
