Description
Help!
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

ExSleep v1.0.0.0

A free, portable app to put your computer asleep by clicking an icon.

With filters, it can avoid sleeping computer if there are running programs that shouldn't be interrupted.

Avoid sleep by mistake

One big problem of Windows build-in sleep button is, it always forces computer to sleep, even when there are tasks that shouldn't be interrupted, e.g. downloading.

It is very much possible that you just forgot those tasks, at the time when you decided to put your computer to sleep.

ExSleep uses filters to avoid the problem. When you launch ExSleep, it first checks all running programs, and won't sleep the computer if there are programs that match any filter.

ExSleep doesn't have GUI, so you need to modify the ExSleep.ini directly if you want to use filters, add one or more filters under section [filters], one filter per line. A filter can be:

Full pathname (c:\windows
otepad.exe)
Filename only (notepad.exe)
Filename without extension (notepad)
Fullpath or filename with wildcards (*pad.exe)
Regular expression (regexp:.*\.+pad.exe)

* To use regular expression, keyword regexp: must be in front of a filter.

Use desktop shortcut

You surely can create a shortcut of ExSleep on desktop, so that you can easily use it by double-clicking. You also can use commmand line parameter -h or -hibernate to hibernate system instead of sleeping. Of course if you want, you can create two shortcuts for both sleep and hibernating.

For: Windows 7, 8, 10


Note: This file has a few hits on VirusTotal. These are false positives. The program is safe. Some antivirus engines don't like files that force your computer to go to sleep.
