Linux Shutdown Source Code

[magic_ghost]

Hello, I am in the process of writing a small program which emulates a timer. I'm having real trouble working out how to set the timer and letting it run for x number of seconds. When I use shutdown, I notice that the user is able to specify a time period before the computer is shutdown.

What I want to do is look at the source code for shutdown and see how they've done it. So the question is: Where can I find the source code for the Linux shutdown command?

Does this help at all? http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/i...er/013915.html After all Mandriva is also rpm based, so perhaps the approach is the same.
