Once installed, you can run the utility from the windows run dialog like this: pss 2 days 3 hours 27 minutes or pss 2d 3h 27m or pss 2:3:27:0 <- = Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds In the above example, Days, and or Hours, and or Minutes can be omitted. PSS is an Acronym for Planned System Shutdown Automatic time calculations for inputs E.G. 120 seconds = 2 Minutes Check it out! Its Free!
