for reboot: shutdown -r now reboot

hey there what if i would like it to turn off lets say after a certain period of time

for example 3 hours

 

what should i type

 

shutdown -h +180

 

Remember you need to be root to shutdown. If you get stuck with Terminal commands, just type:

man *command*

i.e.

man shutdown

 

for a full explaination
