I use Karen's Replicator, that combined with a shutdown command in a batch
file I created does exactly what you are asking. I normally run my backups
at the end of the day before turning in. What I do is start them out and
when Replicator is finish the batch file shuts the system down. The other
manner you could accomplish this task is to make a good guess as to when the
job in question will be finished and set the system to shut itself down at
or slightly after that time.
If this is some interest to you let me know and I will give you further
instructions.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones
that mind don't matter.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] shutting down the computer
Is there any way to have the system shut down after a particular task is
completed? I am coping some large files to an external drive. I do not want
to wait until it is done for me to shut down, would like it to be automatic.
I never leave without shutting down. A few years ago I was at my daughter’s
home. We were all outside and there was a loud explosion. When we got into
the home we found that the computer’s power supply exploded. At least there
was no fire but what an ugly sound and smell. Just checked the copy has 28
minutes remaining.
