SDClock

SDClock will power down Windows at an appointed time.
The program can set a power-down method to logoff, reboot, standby(sleep), hibernation and shutdown.
You can also use it as a digital clock with fancy movable skins.
In addition, SDClock Service can carry out the power-down even if nobody logs on a local computer.

SDClock runs on .NET Framework 2.0 or later.
SDClock is a free software.

SDPetit is the slim clock which extracted primitive power down functions from SDClock.
The requirements and license agreement of SDPetit are the same as SDClock.

SDPetit



Tested platform

Tested it on the following operating system that .NET framework 2.0 was installed in.
(Except for 64bit.)

  • Windows Vista Ultimate *

  • Windows 2003 Server and R2

  • Windows XP (Service Pack2) *

  • Windows 2000 (Service Pack4)


  • (*)mark represents what SDPetit also tested.


    Resource requirement

    SDClock uses 7-20MB (SDService, 2-8MB) memory by operations..
    When there is enough resource in a system, .NET Framework allocates memory more than the above.
    And returns unused(include a swap possibility) memory automatically when system resource was not enough.
