Timer and Alert Software for Library's Computers

[Riesner, Giles W.]

We used to have software called "NetOff" that did that. The company and product are both gone now, but there

are a lot of similar programs out there. Here's a good starting point:  http://alternativeto.net/software/auto-shutdown/  The list there includes both commercial and free solutions.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Timer and Alert Software for Library's Computers

Good Morning!

We are having problems with getting people off of the library's computers at closing time.

We would like to install some kind of timer that will shut the computers off at closing time.  We would also like to install alert software that will warn students when the computers are about to shut down.

Do you have any suggestions of software that we can use?


Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best wishes,

Jackie Radebaugh
