An upgraded version of Timed Shutdown is now available for purchase.
Timed Shutdown Plus has a variety of additional triggers compared to the standard version. If you want to shutdown your computer after a CPU intensive like video encoding, you can use the CPU usage trigger. If you're downloading or transferring large files over a network, there is a network usage trigger. Lock your computer by clapping your hands with the sound level trigger, or automatically shutdown your computer when you close your web browser with the application close trigger. These are just some uses of the extra triggers in the Plus version.

A version of Timed Shutdown for Windows 7 and Vista has been released. Version 6.0 adds the ability to specify a date so you can now schedule shutdowns over 24 hours in advance. It also brings the extra actions Standby and Lock Workstation.
Some triggers from the original (CPU usage, and lost internet connection) have not been transferred to the new version yet, but it's planned that they'll be incorporated at a later date, possibly along with some new ones.
