Shutter Lite Editor's review

Shutter shuts off your PC on schedule, but it can schedule and execute a whole range of actions and events. Its no-nonsense interface and easy-to-set commands mean anyone can use Shutter to schedule and automate all kinds of tasks. Shutter runs in Windows NT to 8 and is free for non-commercial users. We tried it in Windows 7.

Though it's a small app, Shutter has a full installer with the usual options, including Desktop and Quick Launch icons. We mentioned Shutter's user interface, which is quite small but also quite easy to use, thanks to two large boxes; one labeled "Click here to add event;" the other labeled "Click here to add action." "Add," "Remove," and "Up" and "Down" buttons make it easy to add and schedule multiple events and actions. But Shutter does more than simply trigger events in sequence: A menu lets you schedule ALL, AND, OR, or 1BY1 operations. You can save complex sequences as Presets, too. A tabbed Options sheet offers settings ranging from Always On Top to password protection and even a custom Web interface option. We could also access basic functions and options from Shutter's system tray icon. As for the business end, Shutter performs these events: Countdown, On Time, Winamp Stops, CPU Usage, Network Usage, User Inactive, Battery Low, Window, Process, Ping Stops, File Size Limit, and Lid (i.e. Case Open; an optional feature in Vista and later Windows versions). The Actions list is more extensive still: Shutdown, Reboot, Log off, Lock Workstation. Sleep, Hibernate, Turn Off Monitor, Screen Saver, Volume, Hang Up, Alarm, Message, Play Sound, Run Program, Open File, Kill Process, and Utilities. Each and every selection has its own Configuration options: some basic and others elaborate.
