If it is to shutdown after a minute, replace now with actual time when you want the system to shutdown. For example: shutdown -h 12:34 System going down in one minute! For further information; man shutdown Regards, Burhan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks, Alex The -t option is to set the delay between warning and kill signal shutdown time (no -t) is what you want, where time is a [hh:]mm time value. From the man page for shutdown: The time argument can have different formats. First, it can be an absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (1 or 2 digits) and mm is the minute of the hour (in two digits). Second, it can be in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes to wait The word now is an alias for +0. -- Michael Checca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
