autopoweroff-2.9.1-1 RPM for noarch

From SourceForge / a / au / autopoweroff

Autopoweroff is a python script that is started at boot time, and which
function is to shutdown the computer at a specific time, but only if
some conditions are met.

The computer will shutdown if all the above conditions are met:

  1. Any hosts that the computer is dependent on is not answering ping
     anymore.

  2. There is no more keyboard and mouse activity on the computer.

  3. The user has not disabled Autopoweroff.

One good use of Autopoweroff is for home use, on a firewall/router
server. You can setup Autopoweroff to shutdown the server every evening
at say, 22:00. However, your server might serve other computers in your
home. Autopoweroff will shutdown the server after 22:00 only when no
other computer on the network is responding to ping.  For example, if at
22:43 you are still working on your thin client in the living room, the
server in your baseman will remain up. As soon as you shutdown the
workstation, the server will wait for some time (configurable) and
then go down.

By setting the BIOS properly, the server can come up by itself every
morning.  Autopoweroff has nothing to do with this process.  But with
this setting, your home server does not need to run 24/7; you can save
electricity and noise without the hassle of having to shut down and
start the server manually.
