Want to automatically power off Ubuntu after given time? Here’s an Extension adds the option to top-right system menu.<\/p>\n

Yes, you can do this either via a graphical shutdown application, or shutdown<\/code> command with few parameter. However, for beginners or those hate Linux command, life will be easier with the ShutdownTimer<\/i> extension.<\/p>\n

The extension adds an option under Power Off\/Log Out menu. With it, you can just move the slider to change time delay, and turn on the toggle icon to automatically shutdown your computer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A setting dialog is available by clicking on the gear icon. There you can set the minimum and maximum time value, and use Automatic Suspend<\/i> instead of shutdown.<\/p>\n

As some running apps\/services might prevent user shutdown, “Root mode” is available to perform the action via super user privilege. However, you need to type user password every time you enable automatic shutdown.<\/p>\n
