Mac Shutdown has many uses, just an example, it can help a user start a download of big files over the net in the night and have the Mac automatically turned off when the download is finished.

It is customizable using a easy to use setting setup panel (no coding or editing of script required).
It's small, fast, simple and reliable.
You can choose to shutdown the Mac:

- On a scheduled plan
- On a specific date and time
- When a generic file is removed or moved on your Hard Disk
- When a download is finished:

  • using Safari
  • using Firefox or Camino or Netscape
  • using Speed Download

- At launch time to use it via Apple iCal
- When a keyword is found inside a continuously checked web wage

Using the scheduled plan you can set any repetitive interval, selecting a time and a day of the week or any day or any weekday and so on.

With the 'On date' option you can specify the date and time you prefer.

 


   

The 'On event' option is the more powerful and it let you have the Mac turned down when it has finished its job if unattended.

At launch let you launch it via other software and perform the shut down.

With the 'Web Keyword' method, more then one Mac at time can be shutted down in a single shot just updating a web page (also from a remote location)

 


   

Mac Shutdown X is the successor on Mac OS X of our old Shutdown Controller for Mac OS Classic.It has not a single line of code in common with the old Shutdown Controller. Mac Shutdown X is native and was entirely rewritten on mac OS X for Mac OS X using Objective-C and Cocoa. The result is a pleasant, small utility that does its job in a simply and elegant way.
