Nowadays, with energy prices rising continuously, both consumers and enterprises are looking for ways to effectively save energy - but without changing the familiar working style.First and foremost, benefits result from energy - and therefore cost savings. According to several researches, during nights or weekends an average of 20 % of all computers are not shut down at all. Lunch breaks or long absences from the desk not even mentioning.

Idle Timer – Definition, Detection and Analysis

What does “idle” mean and why is it so important?
In the sense of power management, idle means that a computer is powered on but it isn't running any productive or useful code. Idle PCs  just consume energy and produce heat.

Starting with Release 4, Auto Shutdown Manager supports Central Management via it’s build in Management Console.
The Management Console allows configuration, updates, management and deployment of settings and policies from one central place to the all network clients or specified client groups.
It also supports daily administration tasks such as remote wakeup, shutdown, logoff users and restart single PCs or selected PC groups. 

Remote shutdown and remote wake-up are obviously very useful functions that can make the administrator’s and also the end user's life easier. It is not only important in prevention of hazards such as virus attacks where some PCs or whole PC groups can be powered down immediately from one central place.  But also regular service and maintenance tasks such as patch management, data backups; overnight scans etc. can be made much more efficient by powering required machines up and down on schedule or immediately on demand.
