Smart Idle Shutdown

Smart Idle Shutdown is a console application designed to automatically shut down a computer based on specific load conditions. It provides flexibility through command-line flags to customize the behavior according to your preferences.

Usage

./smart-idle-shutdown [flags]

Available Flags

• -interval: Check interval in seconds (default: 5 seconds)
• -threshold: Load Threshold in Percent (default: 30.0)
• -consecutive: Number of consecutive times the load should be below the threshold (default: 3)

Example

-interval 120 -threshold 80.5 -consecutive 5

This example sets the interval for checking to 120 seconds, the load threshold to 80.5, and requires the load to be below the threshold for 5 consecutive times before initiating a shutdown. So that's 10 minutes of downtime in a row

Purpose

The primary purpose of Smart Idle Shutdown is to save energy by automatically shutting down the computer when the system load falls below a specified threshold for a certain duration. This is especially useful for scenarios where the computer is frequently left idle.
