This is a compact utility with time-syncing, window shutdown control, WAV file playing, delayed and controlled running and wallpaper changing capabilities. It is optimized for command line control and the Wallpaper Changer and iTimeSync can also operate in window mode. The iTimeSync function synchronizes your computer clock with an Internet time server. You can set up to five different time servers, which can be automatically checked in turn on a failure to connect, and a positive or negative time offset can be set if you like your clock to be fast or slow. The window shutdown function, known as Slam, adds the ability to shutdown, restart, log off or power-down the computer. This can be useful for shutting down Windows automatically at a set time using the built-in scheduler. Force can be used to closed crashed programs, and delayed or warned shutdowns are also supported. QWave is a compact audio file player. It allows most audio files to be played virtually instantly as opposed to waiting for a larger program to load, display a window and then play the sound. Automatic file type registering is supported, as well as early sound termination for larger files. The Wallpaper changer function will randomly choose an image from a given directory. It natively supports only BMP files, but it is designed to be used with an external converter. The Run function allows a program or file to be run with process priority, delay and cancel options. All of the functions have logging capabilities and settings that are saved for default use. Many of these settings can be overridden or changed when run in command line mode.
