Thread: Laptop Shutdown Controller - FINAL - 24OCT09

uh oh.. somethings up.. this time it's not working. triied standby.. reset to 0 time delay and nothin..

*oK boss, I was bored here's my findings.. version 2 works but I'm assuming the resume from standby the program auto exits was your bug you were trying to fix..I never caught that earlier.. is this right? Anyhow I double checked the OCT08-verison and with same settings Shutdown=32, delay=0 iginition key=On.. Im not getting nothing battery is still in my lower panel and AC is cut, I waited thinking it deafults to 59 sec but thats was several minutes ago. So the version 2 exits on resume and the 08' not functioning on my end, Im patient though In your corner all the way!

Make sure
shutdown with ignition off = YES
Click on tray icon to display settings menu.
If this does not say yes it waits for your Minimum Charge to shutdown

Also check the battery status message
What does it say there.

IM getting this

shut option; standby
shut with ignition; yes
min charge 15
shut delay 0
app to wait for autotrapster.exe
timeout for app..20min



battery 98%
status Ok

I tried exiting and restarting to make setting take effect, but im on battery now so no luck.

The settings should change and take affect with out a restart.
Try using a different shutdown method. Possibly LogOff is not working. Not sure why though
Also try setting your shutdown delay real low like .1 or somthing. Possibly there is a bug with the timer code.
This worked real well with my laptop, and should work with any laptop. I did not try any other shutdown method though besides shutdown.

the .01 worked, now the issue is it seems to auto exit upon resuming

OK fixed the 0 second delay issue. The autoexit on resume issue should be resolved now as well.

Feature addition include:
OPTION: Turn off monitor when shutdown sequence begins
OPTION: Display transparent pop up messages during shutdown sequence

yes you fixed the 0 sec thing and the resume but now Im getting line-1 error autoit upon booting from off.. getting closer though


let me recan that it may be working just fine.. think it was me mixing the .exe's from different versions..lol.. I'll post with final results.
You earlier mentioned labels for RR whats does this mean? Sorry for dorky question, but Im learning skinning so was wondering how this would be useful. Thx ThunderStick

Bingo! All is well, works fantastic!
I want this as a idicator inside DFX4.. Time to research this..I like the Duracell icon by the way
