Limit system uptime #91

Open zieren opened 2 years ago

zieren commented 2 years ago

Currently when nothing is running no limit applies. But that means the PC can run forever. It might be nice to perform a remote shutdown after some hour.

More generally, we need to decide how to handle the PC being up but not reporting any titles.

Maybe simply have a dedicated option to shutdown at a specific time, regardless of whether anything is running, time is left etc.

Windows actually has automation to schedule a shutdown, so a fixed time doesn't make sense. But maybe couple the shutdown to a (potential) time slot limitation for the "Total" limit? Or be a bit smarter and use a condition like "no classes have any time left", which would be more accurate.
