Hello,
I am stumped over how to use -t during shutdown. I tried:
shutdown -t 60 System going down in one minute!
and
shutdown -t 60 now System going down in one minute!
but neither worked as expected. Help me, please!
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.
