Automatically shutdown!

Often we need to leave the computer, but at the same time we should go away from it. Well, the solution at this problem is too simple, and is the title of this post.

Linux:

If we are using a linux distribution we can do it whit the comma shutdown directly in the termina. Now some example:

$sudo shutdown -h +10
$sudo shutdown -r 16:45

The first command (h)alt the computer after 10 minute, the second (r)eboot the computer at 16:45. Both the command must be execute with root permission or also prepending the sudo command. For further information see the output of:

$shutdown --help

Windows:

For Windows OS is roughly the same matter. For example to shutdown the computer after 10 minutes (600 seconds), we can write in the command prompt:

$shutdown -h -t 600

For other useful information see the output of:

$shutdown -?
