Hello, an option would be nice to turn off the PC once the last project is finished. I don't usually leave my personal computer on when I'm away, but I would like at least every time I use the computer to finish the projects before it is turned off.

Hi,

I think, this might be a little bit more comlplicated, than you might think, because boinc usually fetches more tasks when it thinks it should. I think, what you can do, if you have a possibillity to schedule, when your computer should be powered off, is configuring it in a way, it'll boot itself and shutdown itself. You should be able to setup this in your computer's BIOS. For more on this, you could check your motherboard's manual or look up the steps for your BIOS online. For the online information, your Motherboard manufacturer and BIOS version should be enough information.

Hope, this helps!
