By your command !!!

Well, there is shutdown.exe, but I don't know how you might trigger it based on Boinc doing work or not.

With this batch file:

@echo off
goto check_folders
:boinc_running
echo %date% %time% BOINC running.
sleep 300
:check_folders
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\0\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\1\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\2\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\3\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
echo %date% %time% boinc_lockfile not found, waiting 60 seconds...
sleep 60
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\0\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\1\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\2\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\3\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
echo %date% %time% boinc_lockfile not found, waiting 60 seconds again...
sleep 60
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\0\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\1\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\2\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
if exist "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\3\boinc_lockfile" goto boinc_running
echo %date% %time% No active WUs, shuting down.>>autoshutdown.txt
shutdown -s -t 1

This one is for standard installation of BOINC on Windows 7. The sleep.exe is part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools, extract that somewhere and copy sleep.exe to the Windows directory.

If you have many devices, it might me good to increase the number of slots checked, this one I used on a single core machine without a GPU.

It will create a autoshutdown.txt file in the directory where it is run from, where you will see, when the machine has shutdown, if you don't need/want it, remove the corresponding line.

Hmm, looking again, you might be right Mark - I can't think of a simple utility that will shut a PC down when its activity drops below a certain level.

Simple four step process:
Set it to receive "no new tasks" on all projects it is attached to
Allow all the tasks on it finish and report
Shut down the computer
Bid a friend farewell in an appropriate manner

Not certain, but I think he is asking if there is a way for it to shut down automatically when the work is done....
