Ute
-
Version
1.0
Ute is a compact utility with Time Syncing, Window
Shutdown control, Wave File playing, Delayed /
Controlled Running and Wallpaper Changing
capabilities. It is a collection of Sinner Computing
utilities (iTimeSync, Slam and QWave.) with two new
functions are also added. (Run and Wallpaper.) It is
optimised for Command Line Control but the Wallpaper
Changer and iTimeSync can also be operated in window
mode. (N.B. Ute is a 32 bit Windows program, not a
command line program.)
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 easily 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 / warned shutdowns are
also supported.
The Wave File player function (QWave), is a compact
alternative to much larger Wave File player. It allows
a wave file to be played virtually instantly as
opposed to waiting for a larger program to load,
display an window, and then play the sound. Auto file
type registering is supported, as well as early sound
termination for larger files.
The Wallpaper changer function will randomly choose a
image from a given directory. It natively supports
only BMP files, but it is designed to be used with an
external converter / resizer.
Finally, the Run function allows a program / file to
be run with delay and cancel options.
All of the functions have logging functions and
settings that are saved for default use. Many of these
settings can be overridden or changed when run in
Command Line Mode. Ute requires under 100kb of hard
drive space.
