🛑 Shutd

Auto shutdown utility tool for Windows with popup and snooze features

🔨 Build

-ldflags -H=windowsgui compile flags is to avoid opening a console at application startup

go install -ldflags -H=windowsgui ./cmd/shutd

🛠 Usage

If wanted to run it sliently (i.e. without any console popup) at start up, you may do the following

(Not sure why simply running shutd.exe in Startup with -ldflags -H=windowsgui could not trigger the shutdown properly)

1. Create a shutd.vbs at any folder

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
gopath = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%GOPATH%")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & gopath & "\bin\shutd.exe" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

2. Create a shortcut and choose shutd.vbs that you created as target

3. Move the shortcut to start up folder, simply search Startup from Windows explorer

4. You should be able to see shutd.exe running in task manager next time when it starts up

⚙ Configuration

Following set of default configurations will be generated under home directory %USERPROFILE%/.shutd.yaml
