The great thing about computers is that they don’t have to sleep. The worst thing about humans is that we do. So when your computer is chugging along with some task that you’ve set it to, it’s a pain to have to wait for it to finish when you’re about to nod off in your chair. That’s why they’ve gone and invented today’s discount software promotion, Switch!

Switch is a web-based shutdown manager that lets you program your PC to reboot, shut down, or go into Sleep Mode. With Switch, you can arrange to have the program perform these activities at specific times, during weekends, or on any schedule that you set. You can even restart Windows remotely through Twitter! Imagine the possibilities!

As cool as Switch is for the lone user, it gets exponentially better if you’re an administrator responsible for an entire network. Just think, with a single keystroke and command sent over the network, you can put all of your workstations into Sleep Mode for the evening! The cost savings alone are enough to pay for this software. Bonus features include the ability to receive email notifications when Switch activates, the ability to sync settings and switches across networked installations, and a convenient, web-based interface that’s a joy to use!
