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.

New 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 a user does
not sign on to the computer.

New 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.

New 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.
