Timed your shutdown

Author: Gideon ooi

Do you know you could set timing for your computer to shutdown? For example you could set your computer to be shutdown 1hours later. This function could be used if you have any long downloads going on, but you need to leave your house. No software needed. No download needed.

This is how you do it.

Step 1 - Go to command prompt

Step 2 - Type: shutdown -s -t 3600

Notice the number 3600? It means 3600 seconds. The timing you give must be in seconds. For example if you want your computer to shutdown in 2 hours time then simply change the number to 7200.

What happens if you want to abort the timed shutdown?
Simply type: shutdown -a

Try it!
