ZonkPC is a small application I’ve made, for myself at first, when I couldn’t find one I like with same functionality. It’s purpose is to Shutdown/Restart/Logoff/Hibernate your PC after/at a given time. I made it because I didn’t want my PC running all night long when I went to sleep while listening to music.
This is the first publicly (more or less) available beta of ZonkPC. There are probably bugs which have yet to be eliminated. I’d like you to report them here if you will.
ZonkPC uses two fonts which are not available in Windows, so you must copy both to your Fonts folder.
Download: ZonkPC (895)
Changes in b3410:
Since the preview I’ve added two more options to the setup screen: Force Action and Require Confirmation.
You can probably guess which one does what, but just in case:
Force Action: Forces the chosen action, which means programs will be closed by force, rather than save files first.
Require Confirmation: Displays a message when the time runs out asking whether you want to execute the chosen action or not.
Could you add in a function in the same program that will automatically shutdown your computer if no significant data traffic has passed say over 10mins? Be handy to automatically turn the machine off once its finished downloading (this isnt for torrents), a more general function.
I’ll look into this. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey, mate!
Looking good, actually. I do think that in order for it to be available to general public you should do two things:
1. Use an installer that would install the fonts into %windir%\fonts.
2. You should submit it to Download.Com and some similar services for people to get to know it.
Keep it up, mate.

Thanks for the comment Jonathan!
Yeah, I’ll make an installer today, and hopefully finish working on the next build by the end of the month.
I tried submitting it to Download.com (CNET) but they refused for some stupid reason.
