How would I make my PC shutdown automatically without logging in?

How would I go about that? I tried cron jobs but they don't work without logging in.

If you're using the shutdown (or indeed any) command in a cron job it's always recommended to specify /the/full/path/to/the/command

So you might find that using /sbin/shutdown -h now in your cron job may work.

This worked! Thanks.
