Pinging AutoShutdown
Pinging AutoShutdown is a application that allows you to leave your computer on until it looses its network connection.
To use:
- Enter an IP Address that you wish to ping, i tend to use the address of my router.
- Enter a time delay (in seconds) between ping attempts. 60 seconds should be fine.
- Choose what action you wish to take when it fails to ping the IP Address 3 times in a row.
- Show message – simply alerts you with a message
- Shutdown machine – shuts down your machine
- Shutdown (forcefully) – forces applications to close (useful if there are lots of applications running)
- Custom action – allows you to specify a custom action ie. run a batch file, or another application
- Choose whether to save the ping results to a log file (uses the date and time when it starts checking as the file name)
- Choose whether to save the settings you have chosen when the application closes
- Start Checking! Results will appear in the box at the bottom. You can cancel the checking by clicking the button again.
