    v5 v6  
    99 * Company X wants to impose a company mandate that machines should go to sleep 30 minutes after the user goes inactive.
    1010> TODO: BOINC already has the 'Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last X Minutes' preference, how does this differ?
    11 >> Isn't it "allow work if no mouse/keyboard activity in lat X minutes?"
     11>> Isn't it "allow work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last X minutes?"  But clearly mechanism could be similar
     12
     13 * Company Y wishes to implement policy that BOINC can run only after 5:30PM when people have gone home, and stop 7:00 AM before people return to work.   Or at Midnight, or at 8:00 PM
    1214
    1315 * Local power company declares energy alert for a hot afternoon. User wishes to snooze BOINC until 8PM, the general time that power demand subsides.
    14 > User really should shut the machines down in that case.   But being able to snooze BOINC until 5:30PM when everybody has gone home is another common usage scenario
     16> User really should shut the machines down in that case, not just throttle BOINC. 
    1517
    1618 * On our project, people asks explicitly for some temperature control, in order to avoid the fan to start speeding in the midnight. (from Alejandro Rivero)
