Turn Off PC after Process is done

[RalfH]

For batch processing, it would be great to have an option tick box for shutting down the computer after all processes are finshed. It would be even better if that tick box was available while batch processes are running (just in case I change my mind...).

That would be absolutely amazing!

Thanks for suggestion.

Currently computer shut down could be performed in Pro edition using Python scripts.

Hi,


Would it be possible for you to add a "power off" option in to the Workflow / batch process window?


This would enable the end user to program a batch and leave the computer processing overnight without wasting unnecessary energy / money.


Thanks

Thanks Alexey your response is very much appreciated, being said that there are many of us that either don't want to learn Python or do consider the proposed method as too clumsy, I really think that should be in the GUI so that all users, knowledgeable or not, can enjoy such a feature that, in the end, is going to save them money.


Thanks for listening and for your continued support.

Hello!

Please add SHUT DOWN PC after finish option. Sometimes I leave my PC on for a night to make DENSE CLOUD, it would be great feature to use!

Thanks!

Good idea to make this feature available to people who don't want to invest in Python scripting

Please add this feature "Turn Off PC after Process is done" so i could leave my PC on for a night. After finishing BATCH process or any other process (e.g. Dense Cloud Generation) it will turn off PC automatically.

THX!

As a workaround in Professional edition you can add the Run Script task as a final step of your batch for the following script:

Code: [Select]

import os
os.system('shutdown -s')
At least it works for Windows.
