hi,

schedule it e.g. via cron

10 23 * * 6 shutdown -h now

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.
