Hi all,
just a quick question - i've been searching for a little freeware program that is effectively a timer or stop watch that would shut down my whole computer after a period of time,
if any of you guys know of anything, it would be much appreciated
thanks

are you trying to limit kid computer usage or something?
applescripts would need to be active for every (non-admin) user, right?
or use a laptop and don't give them the power adapter... voila, time limited computing.
email/websurfing/conservative app usage at min screen brightness = >4hrs
dvd or heavy optical drive load (rip, mix or burn) = <3hrs
+ additional graphics load from gaming, NLE, rendering, etc = <2.5hrs
not only do you limit session time, you may encourage 'productive/educational' usage patterns
if that's tangential to your need, please refocus or add more info
I saw something there last night that did this, it said it could shutdown,sleep and something else. I thnk it was an alarmclock fo the dock. type star in their search panel and you should get the same results i did.
