Brutus lets you log off, restart, or shut down a computer running Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003. The way you always wanted to. With a single click. Also for the security conscious, Brutus also offers one-click locking of your computer.
So for those of you that constantly restart, shutdown and lock your computer, I can’t think of a faster and more automated way to do those tasks. As an added bonus if you are an IT administrator you can add Brutus to Windows scheduled tasks, and force your computers lock, restart or shutdown at a specific time.
The price is right, FREE
The easier option would be to set windows to shut down using when the power button is pressed. And schedule shutdowns with Windows Scheduled Tasks. Much easier and no need for any extra installed on the computer
True, but Brutus force quits applications.
for windows to force exit things all you need to do is add -f to the end of the shutdown command, comes in handy with batch files
My power button shuts things down pretty quick.
Either way, long term use will do some damage to your computer.
