Anyone know of free auto shutdown app?


I use amp winoff on my notebook to shut it down (or hibernate/etc) after a certain time period. I usually listen to music when I go to bed & Amp Winoff makes sure my notebook isn't still running when I wake up Is there a free app similar to this for Linux (Ubuntu)? I have found a few but none are free.

you can always just schedule a shutdown... like so:

shutdown -h 2:00

that will shutdown the computer at 2 at night, assuming your clock is set right... time is entered in 24hr format.

...
or if you want it to shutdown in like 30 minutes
just do give it this:

shutdown -h +30

...
to cancel a running shutdown give it this:

shutdown -c

...
but i would wanna know about these intelligent shutdowns...
