Shutdown System when Opera completes transfers

Saturday, 17. May 2008, 11:09:46

, , , , ,

I created OperaShutdown using AutoHotkey to close Opera & shutdown System when Opera completes transfers.
Opera Shutdown

Size is 203 KB and installation is not required.

Download

When there is a transfer, Opera title bar will contain Transfers XX:XX - Opera and this will change to Transfers - Opera when transfer completes. OperaShutdown.exe will check periodically for this change and will show the following message box. If there is no response from you for a minute, it will close Opera and shutdown System.

Opera Shutdown Confirmation

Note:
  1. OperaShutdown.exe will run in background and you will hear a beep when it starts.
  2. You must keep transfers tab in focus.
  3. To close OperaShutdown.exe, press WIN+X keys and you will hear a beep.
  4. If you use langauge other than English, create a shortcut to OperaShutdown.exe and add "<Transfers in your languge> - Opera" at the end of shortcut target.

Cool thing. I've used soft which checked network activity, and if it's low for some time shutdowns system.

Is there something like this for linux?
