How to schedule an auto shutdown by command prompt

In many day to day activities, there are many occasions we need to set the computer to shutdown automatically. There are many software to achieve this simply. Wise Auto Shutdown is a best freeware to do this. But I'm going to tell a simple method to achieve this by command prompt without any additional software.

1. Start command prompt
2. Type in command prompt as follows.

shutdown /s /t <time>

In this command time should be mentioned in seconds.

In the above example I used the value 3600 as time. That means computer turns off after 3600 seconds from now(1 hour from now).

Not only shutdown other power operations like log off and restart also can be done by this command. But those operations cannot be scheduled.

Shutdown: shutdown /s .t time

Restart: shutdown /r

Log off: shutdown /l

Hibernate: shutdown /h

For more help on command shutdown type,

shutdown /?

Extend internal memory of any Android device (Root Needed)

Low internal memory is a very common problem between low end android devices. Today most of android devices have both more than enough processing power and RAM size. But the internal memory size is relatively low. Due to low internal memory, we can't install many apps and most of the times sync stops working. Two most popular solutions to low internal memory problem. Link2SD Drawback - Slow down the device vold.fstab method Risk of bricking the phone. Need the appropriate vold.fstab for the device. I'm going to tell you a different method. In this method the SD card is joined to the end of the internal memory. If the internal memory is not enough, then the SD card will be used instead of the internal memory. I installed NFS Most Wanted and NFS No Limits on a Xpeia E3 Dual after extending the internal memory using this methods. (Xperia E3 Dual has a internal memory of 1.7 GB)

Spring Transaction Management over multiple threads

Spring framework provides a comprehensive API for database transaction management. Spring takes care of all underlying transaction management considerations and provides a consistent programming model for different transaction APIs such as Java Transaction API (JTA), JDBC, Hibernate, Java Persistence API (JPA), and Java Data Objects (JDO). There are 2 main types of transaction management in Spring. They are declarative transaction management which is a high level one and programmatic transaction management which is more advance but flexible. The Spring API works very well with almost all of the transaction management requirements as long as the transaction is on a single thread. The problem rises when we want to manage a transaction across multiple threads. Spring doesn't support transactions over multiple threads out of the box. Spring doesn't explicitly mention that in the documentation. But you will end up with run time errors or unexpected results if you try to do so.
