shutdown Ubuntu after a preset period of time?

[hhtmp88]

Dear all,

Are there any applications that can let me set a preset period of time, say 1.5hours,
-> and when being run, Ubuntu will be shut down automatically ?

Thanks for any kind of help!

you could write a small bash script, or simply open a terminal
screen -S shutdown
sudo shutdown -h 90 <can be minutes to count or 13:30 for example as a time
ctrl + a - d to leave the screen and leave the shutdown running

Hi hemimaniac!

How can I make a shortcut on the desktop for this command,
-> so that I do not need to type the command every time I want to execute it?

Thanks!
