writing c program to shutdown linux system
 

I usually download files from internet throughout the night. I can shut down computer automatically using command

shutdown -P time
.
This works well ,
but very often ,electric supplies cutoffs and system get rebooted and remain booted uselessly.
In such case i want to use c program to shut down system after particular time which i will add on startup application list.
If i added it on startup application every time i boot the computer it will automatically shutdown after particular time so ,to use the system i should be able to disable that program.

Hi, welcome to LQ!

You should be able to use 'at' and a wee shell script for this.



Cheers,
