That's right, but notice the active/important phrase "sleep mode", which is not the same as turning something off completely.

what is wake on land - Google Search

Wake on LAN is a technology that allows a network professional to remotely power on a computer or to wake it up from sleep mode. By remotely triggering

the computer to wake up and perform scheduled maintenance tasks, the technician does not have to physically visit each computer on the network.

Subject: Re: Skeduler for turning computer on and off

 

Every version of Windows back to at least XP,maybe even further, has a program called Task Scheduler. You can certainly add a task to shut the machine down in there. Starting it again, though, I don't think is possible. In fact, I'd go out on a limb to say it is absolutely positively not possible. Think about it: How would a device that's quiet, not taking power, not responsive to any stimuli either internal or external, know, or be told by some external force, that it's time to turn on?

Hi:

 

Do you know if they make a skeduler to turn off the computer at a certain time.

 

I download podcasts but I don’t want to sit here until they all download.

 

I was hoping that there would be a way to shut the computer down at acertain time?

 

Any help would be appreciated.
