Feature Request: Option to Shutdown PC when idling complete. #203

Open DjRicko opened 8 years ago

DjRicko commented 8 years ago

As title says, i would really like to have an option which when enabled would automatically shutdown the PC once idling is complete.

The way i use Idle Master is that i usually open it before i go to bed to idle the cards from any new bundle games etc. that i have gotten, i do this on a regular basis to keep on top of getting the cards, so i don't need to idle several hundreds none stop. So if i start idling say 10 cards and go to bed, then leave for work the next day i won't be home for a while. As the PC isn't really doing anything else useful except the idling, i would like it to shut down automatically once idling is done.

Hope you would consider adding this option, it's a pretty simple thing to add :)

Thanks in advance.

Logically speaking, would this have to be a feature? Depending on what OS you use, it's fairly easy to automate the Idle Master process, and when it's finished, shutdown the computer from there.

I need to check however if Idle Master supports a 'batch' mode, i.e without confirmation, to allow the next command sequence (shutting down the computer) to go ahead.

Using windows and as far as i know there is no way to easily automate it as idle master to my knowledge does not have a batch mode, otherwise it would be very simple if you could launch it with a parameter that would make it exit when it was done, now it just stays at the main window saying idling is done. I could detect this using something like autoit or autohotkey, but would be easier to just have a simple checkmark in idlemaster instead of having to use an external tool to automate it.
