Another solution could be. Its same as the previous. $ sudo -i # x=1; while [ $x -lt 60 ]; do sleep1; x=$(expr $x + 1); done; init 0 It'll shutdown the pc after 60 seconds. Well all are actually shell commands. I dont know any graphical way to do this. -- A K M Mokaddim http://talk.cmyweb.net http://twitter.com/shiplu Stop Top Posting !!
