Sure. Shutdown accepts numeric arguments for time delays. E.g. # shutdown -h +10 "going down for scheduled maintenance" # 10 minutes # shutdown -h 23:00 "going down late" # goes down at 11PM Depending on your shell, you might want to background the shutdown job to allow you to log off or do other deeds: # shutdown -h +120 "going down in two hours" & # lynx http://www.fark.com -- "That time in Seattle... was a nightmare.
