Hi,
I run Fedora 21 Workstation, and use it for a NAS server. it works perfect! The only problem i have is that you dont have a function to auto shutdown. i know it is possible to run a .desktop file or another file type. but i dont know how to set it up.
What i need is when the system boot, not login, the command:
"shutdown -h 22:00" runs
How should i set this up??? Sorry for my bad English :(
Greets, Sjaak
This was what i did:
sudo su - crontab -e
then edit the file with the follow text:
0 22 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now
Then pressed "Esc", pressed ":" and typed "wq" to save and close the file after that i checked it with crontab -l and saw my cronjob in that list. and at 22:00 the computer started shutting down
Hi,
This is how I would do it (That does not mean that is the most elegant solution but it should work. Very likely that systemd.timer method is better/recommended). If you want it quick and dirty, take this:
Use a little shell script in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which will be executed every time you start your PC. Use gedit to create the script: gedit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Then paste something like:
#!/bin/bash
shutdown -h 22:00
Then make rc.local excutable: chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
You should be good to go...
Yea, sorry. I guess, I was wrong with the path of rc.local. It should be located in /etc/rc.d/ (and not/etc/rc.local). Try it again by moving rc.local file to /etc/rc.d/ and make sure it is executable (chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local). I am going to edit my answer now.
It doesnt work. here are some screenshots:

at screenshot 1 i typed:
gedit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and make the file:
#/bin/bash shutdown -h 22:00
at screenshot 2 i typed in:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and at screenshot 3 i typed:
sudo systemctl start rc-local.service
and then got the error massage
OK, first of all, apologies once again. I had a typo in the first line of the bash script (forgot the !). I has to be: #!/bin/bash.
I saw in your screenshot that you used a root terminal. In that case sudo in front of any command is obsolete. No clue yet, why it fails but please first correct rc.local file, and try again, and then post the output of systemctl status rc-local.service. No need for a screenshot. Just mark the text in your terminal, copy it (CTRL+SHIFT+C) and paste it here. Thanks.

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/s... maybe add a systemd timer, I am used to using atd or crond, so the below might be wrong. [Unit] Description=Nightly Poweroff [Timer] OnCalendar= --* 22:00:00 Unit=exit.target
http://jason.the-graham.com/2013/03/0... Probably should add : [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target and remember to add this config file named something like nightly_off.timer in /etc/systemd/system/ or /usr/lib/systemd/system .
Thank you for your anwser
