[Feature Request] Shutdown computer after work is done

Open Kupo91 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I'm suprised that nobody else asked for this before. Sorry, if I missed such a thread or this option in Cupscale. I think for people with a weak gpu who run the upscale process right before they go to bed, an option to shutdown the computer after finishing the upscale would be useful.

Unless if their computer has limited power usage/uptime, there's really no reason a guy would want to do that. I leave my computer up mining Litecoin all night every night, and, again, there's no real problem aside from power usage on idle and uptime. Overheating isn't a problem anymore these days with the fancy failsafes that computer part vendors are putting into their new chips/cards. FYI, my "computer" is a cheap MSI laptop made of mostly plastic even on the inside. No problems yet, I've had this thing for almost a year now (And ever since I got it, its GPU has been at full load either mining Litecoin by night or playing video games by day. It's average temps are 86C for GPU, 95C for CPU). Sometimes I set it to mine litecoin whenever possible to not have as much as a second of GPU idleness apart from shutting down/restarting/updating drivers.

For sake of completeness though, I guess you're right and this should be taken into consideration. Waiting for reply from n00mkrad.
