Tip : Shutting down your system automatically

Welcome again,
this post I've a tip for you, it is how to shut down your system automatically, such operation required a tool in the past when I was operating windows, but now, you can do it without any additional tools, just your system :)

the command is shutdown, and here is the syntax

shutdown -P [time]

this command require root access on the system, and very flexible too, you can use it in many diffrent ways,

here are some examples of using the command:

shutdown -P now
this command will shutdown the system immediately

shutdown -P 10:23
this will shutdown the system on 10:23 AM

shutdown -P 22:23
this will shutdown the system on 10:23 PM

shutdown -P +15
this will shutdown the system after 15 minutes

the command has lot of options you can test it,

that's all for the moment
