Today's Lesson...
Maybe you're falling asleep to music or some video or something on your computer, and you want your computer to automatically turn off after it's done (save power, too much noise, whatever). This little bit is ftw.
Bring up the Run dialog box (Start->Run) and put in
shutdown -s -t 5000
-s means shutdown
-t means time and is followed by the number of seconds
So this example will shutdown the computer in 5000 seconds which is a little over 1h 23m.
If for some reason you need to cancel the uber timer or you want to set a different timer, run
shutdown -a
-a means abort
Done. If your box is grossed up it might not shutdown all the way on its own. Mine does. So, hopefully yours does too. The end.
