Dear All, Is there any way to configure my linux machine to shut down automaticaly,which time I need? If yes how,tell me please? khalid khan

hi, schedule it e.g. via cron 10 23 * * 6 shutdown -h now wollie

A simpler way is to add the appropriate shutdown command to the /etc/profile file (as root): Open a terminal window and su to root: [user@localhost ~]$ su Password: (enter root password here) This example will open /etc/profile in the kate text editor: [root@localhost user] # kate /etc/profile Add the following command to the end of the file: shutdown -h hh:mm Replace hh:mm with the time at which you want the computer to shutdown automatically each day The -h option tells shutdown to turn the computer off (halt). For more information on the shutdown command open a terminal window and enter: man shutdown Remember, the man command is your friend. With it you can get information on nearly any command available in your Linux system. HTH, Ernie Registered Linux User 247790 ICQ 41060744
