Leaving your computer on all the time is one way to have your computer ready for you whenever you need it, but it is not the smart way. The smart way is for the computer to turn on before you want it so it can download EMail, news and updates. The smart way is for the computer to turn off automatically if you are not using it, and turn on again later. Volt can do this and more, including all forms of shutdown/suspension, delayed shutdown/suspension, command line operation and logging.

The secondary function of Volt is to provide a visual display of the internal battery state of a Laptop Computer. This can be shown via a compact window with a graph and a text line, or by a simple icon with pop-up status in the system tray. The window can be set to stay on, or when the battery state changes according to the users preference. It also can be placed in various set places, or be movable and can also be set to be on-top of other windows and/or made transparent.

Feature List

Quick Shutdown
Volt has can be set to show various power events in the tray menu. Each one can be selected to be shown or not.
Shutdowns can be set to warn for a set time and then if not cancelled perform the action, ask for confirmation, or just shutdown instantly.
The menu can display a few or all shutdown actions, depending on what ones you use.
Shutdowns can also be scheduled to happen up to 2 weeks minutes in the future. If the shutdown event is a hibernation or a suspension a wakeup time can also be set to any time up to 2 weeks after the hibernation/suspension. Scheduled shutdowns can be cancelled if you change your mind.
Shutdowns can be performed with "force" if you have programs that do not close fast enough.

Command-Line Shutdown
Using this function you can create links, including on your desktop, that let you trigger a power event by running a file.
All shutdown/suspend functions are supported, as well as the remote shutdown of another computer.
The default command-line shutdown type can be set, and this can be over-ridden via command-line options.
A variable time warning or a delay can be set.
