You can even combine the conditions by selecting options according your requirements. To select Advanced settings click the star icon in the upper left corner or press F12 when SDS runs. SDS will warn the user using short sounds every second, starting XX seconds before shutdown.

Most convenient/user friendly software among similar ones I have tried
Great program. One feature I wish was on there, is a short delay before it starts monitoring the exit of the software package that will shutdown the computer. Occasionally it will load before the software it is monitoring and since it doesn't see it, it will shut the computer down. A 2-3 secont delay would be excellent for loading startup items.
