Sometimes this machine is left switched on from early morning until late evening, and only used a couple of times. Can anyone suggest a means of causing the computer to shut down if unattended for a specified time (i.e 20 mins, 30 mins)?

I don't mind the wait while it boots, if I know that it has not been gobbling watts for the last 4 hours.

I'm not concerned about the arguments that switching on and off more than necessary stresses the PSU etc.

Thanks,

Peter



Yes, I forgot to mention. The box is running Kubuntu 12.10
