Power Button -start/stop desktop applications and external hardware in one click



Hi everybody,

I wrote another application named "Power Button".  It is designed
to give you the ability to automatically start/stop the external
hardware associated with a desktop application just in one click, as
you usually start that application (like winamp or windows media
player).

For example, when you click the desktop icon to start winapm, "Power
Button" will first start the external hardware, such as the amp, the
speakers, dim the lights then start your application - all in one
click. Same, when you close your application, the hardware will revert
to the initial state (turn off speakers, the amp and brighten the
lights, etc).

It can also work as client-server, which will also allow you to control
the hardware remotely over the network.

The application is free for download and use at:

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
