Shutdown/Sleep/Hibernate after cleaning

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Suggestions

Hi folks!

I'd love to see a feature that would allow users the option to shutdown the computer, put it into sleep mode, or into hibernation after manually running CCleaner.

I often manually run CCleaner when I'm done using my computer. It takes a minute or two to run, and I have sit & wait for it to finish before I can put my machine into sleep mode. I would be great to be able to start CCleaner & just walk away, letting it clean & then shut things down automatically.

Something similar to this is Auto Shutdown 3.6.2D - an add-on for Firefox that allows this type of control after all downloads complete. I find it very useful.

Thanks for your consideration!

Thanks for the suggestion Alan! It is helpful. Now is there also an option for the command line "CCleaner.exe /AUTO /SLEEP"?

Personally, however, I'd prefer to avoid using command line at all. After all, I'm lazy enough that I don't want to wait around to put it into sleep mode myself after I've run CCleaner. I'd just like it to run quickly & easily, then put my computer to sleep when it's done. It would be great to just go into advanced settings & tick a little box beside something worded like "Close program & put computer into sleep mode after cleaning."

One man's sleep is another man's nightmare ! !

I always want a proper shutdown to minimise the inherent risk of windows that forsakes security in the interests of connectivity,

and the risk that a hacker might use an Internet Wake-up-on-Lan message to use my computer whilst I am asleep.

My laptop has a desktop link to a BAT script.

A simple double click launches the script and that cleans and closes the computer with my involvement.

My laptop is mothballed, but from vague memory,

The script has two commands, something like

START /WAIT CCLEANER /AUTO

SHUTDOWN

To see the HIBERNATE etc. option arguments for SHUTDOWN use

SHUTDOWN /?

Similarly to ensure that CCleaner has completed before shutdown commences, see

START /?
