Auto Shut Down

[halo200]

Is there a program avalible that will let me choose a certain time and it will let me run commands e.g tell it to shut down my computer at a certain time?

[richiefrich]

shutdown -h TIME

change the TIME I'm not sure if thats minutles or seconds but you can read the man page

man shutdown

and you also need to be root to run it

If you're wanting to schedule more than just a shutdown, crontab is the tool generally used for running commands on a recurring schedule.

you click "New Thread" under an applicable category/topic, then state your problem clearly, and make a 1 line summary version as the title. =]

You can use Crontab to shutdown your Linux Machine

#crontab -e

You got a new screen paste this command and change as per your requirement

0 20 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now

By this command your Linux Machine will shutdown automatically at 8 PM every day
