There is a 90 second period to allow users to finish what they are doing. Therefore it's not quite an emergency security tool, but it's still pretty useful.TweetMyPC is freeware, Windows only and requires .NET 3.5 or higher.TweetMyPC is useful if, for example, you're at the airport with your Blackberry and forgot to power down your home server or Maybe you started a huge file transfer before you left the office and want to turn your system off after the transfer is finished, or you're headed off on a business trip and forgot to shut down your system.
