first it might be a good idea to have a /script/shutdown.sh that calls /script/stop.sh (and a /scripts/start.sh, but that’s kinda complicated since systemd?)

that stops all kinds of essential services (databases, vms…) before system shutdown

but here is a neat way to do a scheduled shutdown:

# define this alias
alias sdt='shutdown -P '

# now user can schedule shutdowns like
sdt +30
# this will shutdown in 30min

# but what about shutdown in 3hours?

# now how many minutes are these? X-D

# schedule shutdown in 3h
sdt +$(echo $((60*3)))

# pretty cool eh?
