GCounter: system actions scheduler

Hi,
I really don't know how to describe it nice. Couple weeks ago a started to write small app that allows to suspend/reboot/shutdown computer at specific time (in 20 minutes for example). Now it has grown up and it's working pretty well. And it's my first pygtk app so... you know It can use DBus or sudo and pm-suspend, shutdown, reboot commands for standart actions.

P.S. English is not my native language. If you found some mistakes/typos (in app.. not this post;p) please let me know. Hope you like it.

I like it. Much easier than trying to do some math and running sleep 36000;

Re: GCounter: system actions scheduler

Of course you can just do sth like this : sleep 3h && mpc stop && notify-send "watch ooouuuttt!" && sudo pm-suspend... but what is the point if you can do it in simpler way I just don't which way is closer to the KISS philosophy ;> cause typing miles long commands is not quite good and on the other hand - gcounter is written in simplest possible way;)
