Smart Turn Off can co-operate with SM LookA agent. The agent might be used for multiple computers shutdown, PC and network devices control as well as for the Smart Turn Off possibilities enhancement.

SM LookA is designed as independent software (FreeWare) and may work on it own. Find installation file on DOWNLOAD page. An icon will be created in Start Up folder after the installation.

There is no need to install the agent if Smart Turn Off COMputer 3.6.8 and higher is installed, because it's is installed already and SM LookA uses skin and countdown settings of Smart Turn Off.

Control SM LookA via tray icon

SM LookA allows to assign Hot Keys (combination keystroke).

Shutdown, Log Off and SM Timer* options are available, if Smart Turn Off not installed on computer.
* - if SM Timer installed.

Note: SM Timer included in installation package of the Smart Turn Off.

Example: if Smart Turn Off found, Hot Key Ctrl+Alt+S will produce data backup, pc cleanup, privacy protection and PC turn off, if not - common PC turn off (shutdown).

SM LookA can PING another PC and devices.

The option might be used for multiple PC shutdown, for turning PC off one by one, etc.

Ping option works simple, just set action, ping interval, action delay, IP-addresses and press OK.
The option might be activated/deactivated for current Windows© session via menu.

Examples:
- each workstation in the office pings server (waits for DOWN status) along with UP status of router for additional network operability test, all workstations shut down after server shutdown

- ping router, all workstations shut down after router power off

- server in security area pings workstation, the server goes down after workstation shutdown with nobody access to the security area

- ping secretary's PC, all workstations make backup to a server and go down in 10 seconds, the server goes down in 10 minutes after a slowest PC shutdown.
 

SM LookA can delay Windows© shutdown and start the Smart Turn Off for assigned tasks execution before shutdown.
Also the agent can launch Smart Turn Off if POWER button or SLEEP button is pressed. Another words, a push of a button produces cleanup, privacy protection, backup and shutdown.
