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

shutdown /?

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.

Does it really worth adding a SSD to a laptop?

Nowadays, SSDs are becoming more popular. The reason behind this is the new applications are becoming more resource intensive and computers are getting slow with traditional hard disks. This mostly happens to the machines with Windows operating systems. Therefore most people are upgrading their machines with SSDs to achieve a higher performance. But the price of a SSD is relatively higher (more than 2 times) than a HDD. So most people face to the problem whether the extra performance we get is worth compared to the price of SSD with HDD. Some people say that SSDs are useless as they have a limited write cycle count. What is the truth behind think this? Should you upgrade your machine with a SSD?
