Description Henning 2023-08-27 14:33:56 UTC

There are many examples where you may have executed a long script, a big compilation or others.

In these cases there currently is no option to auto-shutdown the PC once winished. An option is to guess the time, but this is pretty dangerous.

There are the monitoring functions, but I dont really know how they work, and I think they just alert the user.

Having an "action when idle" setting would be really great.

execute process && shutdown

The “&&” calls a program when the first finishes. So just call shutdown,
after your process finish, to close the computer

This is not what monitor is for.

I know of that syntax.

But having a process that suddenly takes longer than expected is a common problem. I dont know any good solution for that currently.

Is there another place to put this then?

Henning, just do what I told you:

Execute: process && shutdown
