Shutdown or Restart Scheduler v1.0

[robbinschut]

Hi All,

 

Do you want to shutdown or restart your computer on a certain day and time? no problem! With the Shutdown Scheduler plugin you can set what you want todo (shutdown or restart) and when it needs to happen. When the time is there you will receive a notification that the computer is going to shutdown or restart.

 

Good luck with it!

Looks cool, thank you. Does it force a shutdown or restart or it will issue a plain shutdown command?

[robbinschut]

Thanks, it doesn't force the shutdown or restart for now.

It executes the command:  "ShutDown.exe (-s or -r) -t 20"  so you have 20 seconds to possibly stop the shutdown or restart.

 

It is a good idea to set this a an option .

Does this work if there is no user logged in?

[robbinschut]

Hi Paul,

 

Sorry for my late response.. 

Yes it works if there is no user logged in and also when there are users logged (they will get a dialog with a countdown)

Hi Robbin,

 

thank you for your work and the great plugin! - It is very useful for maintenance Jobs, if is needed to restart the systems after midnight, after the Business is closed

 

I wanted to test now the plugin on a Windows 2008R2 server, but the status remain always set at "Disable" - any idea?

[qbtadmin]

Great idea but running it on Server 2008R2 it says disabled, how do I enable it?

[digbyp]

Is there a resolution yet, to it staying at State Disabled?

 

Also, it seems

 

1 - When you set time, you have to go back in and Save a second time

2 - Enable schedule definitely not work on Windows 2008 R2 or Windows XP (does not change state to Enabled

3 - I presume once working one can revers and disable?

4 - Assuming perhaps a computer would shut down - just tested and did not

 

 

This is a great plugin - any chance of fixing soon?

 

thanks

I've create an open-source clone of this plugin (which works).

Hi, Im new to pulseway. I downloaded the release above 1.3 and installed it as a plugin. For the life of me I cannot figure out where to go to use or set it? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Tony,

Thanks for trying my plugin! You can configure the plugin from the mobile/web apps. Open the system details and scroll to the bottom of the page, you should see an additional entry after the system commands.

Hi

I have loaded the plugin on to a Windows 2012 Server and it appears in the webapp as shutdown plugin but i am unable to set the time, change the action or interval.  Same thing on a 2008 server also

Is there something i am missing?

[Paul]

Hi John,

Unfortunately the webapp doesn't support plugin inputs just yet. The new HTML webapp is still being migrated from the flash webapp and some features might still be missing (like plugin inputs). You can change the inputs from any other client though.

We will definitely be adding support for plugin inputs in a future release.

Sorry but what application should i be using to be able to do this?  There does not appear to be any additional functionality to achieve this through the Pulseway Dashboard.

Sorry should have checked the mobile app

Hi Guys, Is there any way we can get a tick list for days of the week to reboot a device? I have a server I'd like to reboot once a week, maybe a satruday night, but the only options I've got are every day or week days.

 

Thanks!

[Chris]

Have you tried to use the automation from the Pulseway webapp. There is the option to create the scheduled task by the day and time.

[gt4mark]

FWIW - in the automation we use a powershell script for this

Start-Sleep -Seconds (New-TimeSpan -End "11 PM").TotalSeconds; shutdown.exe /r

Has anyone managed to get this plugin working recently? It would be a great addition for scheduling server restarts at night specifically.
