| Reboot (T) | Reboot computer. |
| Logoff (T) | Log out currently logged in user. |
| Lock Workstation | Lock workstation. |
| Sleep | Put computer into the suspended state. |
| Hibernate | Put computer into the hibernated state.
Tip: First, check if the hibernate option is enabled in your PC: Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate tab. |
| Turn Off Monitor | Switch off the monitor. |
| Screen Saver |

| Volume | Mute or unmute the master volume. |
| Hang Up | Drop connection of the modem device. |
| Alarm | Show a simple dialog displaying the current time and play an alarm sound. |
| Message | Show message for the specified period time with option to stop execution of the rest of actions and option to restart the events. |
| Play Sound | Play specified sound file with ability to wait for the sound file to finish before continuing with the rest of actions. |
| Run Program | Run specified executable and optionally wait for it to finish executing before continuing with the rest of actions. |
| Open File | Open a specified file using shell. This can be either of the following:
|
| Close Window | Close all windows that match the specified window title. |
| Kill Process | Terminate all processes that match the specified executable filename. |
| Utilities |
This is a special type of action to control the workflow of Shutter. The options are:
|
| Run Preset (T) | Start another preset in the current instance or in a new instance. This action enables a more complex execution flow by running multiple sets of events and actions in sequence. |
(T) Mark shows that this action is a terminal action, meaning that it may cause Shutter to terminate or otherwise stop the rest of actions from executing. You can use only one terminal action in the Actions pane, and it must be the last in the list of actions.
