Keep your Windows machine awake until elapsed time, then shut it down.
Useful for when you are doing something like downloading large files or installing a program.
This builds upon the functionality of Insomnia, which can keep your machine awake as long as its window is open.
Install the gem:
gem install windows-shutdown-timer
After install, run
windows-shutdown-timer
from cmd. Follow the prompts. You can also run:
windows-shutdown-timer 120
which would shut down your machine after 120 minutes of keeping it awake.
To cancel a pending shutdown:
windows-shutdown-timer -c
And if you just want to run Insomnia
windows-shutdown-timer -1
You can ignore these, if you are not developing this gem
