# SmartSleep
Shutdown.py is an automated PC shutdown program that monitors user activity and initiates a system shutdown when no movement or keyboard activity is detected for a specified period of time. It helps ensure energy efficiency and provides an additional layer of security for your PC.
## Features
- Monitors mouse movement and keyboard activity.
- Starts a countdown and displays a warning before initiating the shutdown.
- Allows cancellation of the countdown if activity is detected.
- Retries the shutdown process in case of errors.
- Logs error messages for troubleshooting.
## Use Cases
- Energy Efficiency: Automatically shut down your PC after a period of inactivity to conserve power and reduce electricity consumption.
- Security: Protect your system from unauthorized access by initiating a shutdown when idle.
- Productivity: Encourage regular breaks by setting a time limit for inactivity and prompting users to resume their work.
