Is in Ubuntu option, that can shutdown computer after time or at defined time? I think: I have turned on my computer and I will need to automatically shutdown computer after 4 hours or at 21.00 pm. Is there option, if computer can automatically turn on at defined time?
View 9 RepliesI have looked high and low for this, but to no avail. I am looking for a script to shutdown my computer when it reaches a specific time (say 10:00). I know about the shutdown command but if I use that I cannot shutdown my computer manually. I would like to be able to shutdown manually AND automatically.

I've a system with a DBI-Proxy running, most of the time the systems load is about 2~3...if a DB-connection dies, the load rapidly increases (very fast) and after some seconds the load is > 200 and i'm no longer able to shut down the DBI-Proxy manually...or do anything else via ssh...
Now i wanna have a script running in background that checks the system-load permanently and stops the DBI-Proxy if the load exceeds...well, lets say 10 or whatever.
Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

I set up a dhcp server in the lan and assigned static ips to two computers, computer A and B, according to their mac address. Everything was running fine. But when I turned off computer A, connected computer C to the network, and assigned computer A's static ip to computer C without changing dhcp setting. Computer C was able to access the internet. When I turned on computer A, dhcp couldn't assign an ip address to it, and computer C showed an error message of ip conflict and failed to use internet. I wonder if dhcp server is able to prevent other computer from using the same static ip that is already assigned to a computer according to its mac address.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I shutdown Ubuntu 10.10 and try to turn on the desktop PC it fails. I then have to disconnect tower from the power source and plug it in after waiting a few minutes. This problem first started in Ubuntu 9.10. I have a hunch that it happens because I am shutting down with applications open.
I was told that this is a batter issue on my motherboard, but I've replaced it and still have issues.
My ubuntu won't shut down, it stops at the ubuntu logo (with the dots under it). It seems like the OS completely and successfully shuts down, also the harddrive spins down too, except for the computer. I belive this might have happened after I updated my bios. (due to hybrid gpu trouble)I did search on the internet, and found that it might be some ACPI related issues, and that I have to edit the grub's menu.lst file and add acpi=force.However my menu.lst file is blank, there is nothing in there.
I have tried to shutdown via the terminal too, but the same happens there. Last time I checked it successfully reboots, and standby works correctly. For me to shutdown this laptop, I have to remove the battery and the power cord for it to shutdown, or hold the power button for 10 secs, which is really annoing
just recently I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. Now whenever I shut down computer gets stuck after umounting disks etc, so I have to shut down using power button, similar to this error[URL]
View 2 Replies View Relatedso i just bought a new Sony Vaio laptop and things are seeming to run great. However, there is one issue: when i go to restart or shutdown the computer, the graphical interface goes away like it should, it goes to CLI and does it's shutdown routine....the problem occurs about 2 seconds into the routine, when it just stops. it doesnt shutdown or restart, but stays in the CLI with a blinking cursor. if i allow it to set for a couple of minutes, a message pops up that says something like this, "BUG: soft lock up CPU0 CPU1 stuck, blah blah". any ideas on what this is or what is causing this? the laptop has the i5 processor in it, just in case that matters
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and ever since last upgrade a couple of days ago (I think), everytime I hit shutdown on the gnome-panel (admittedly, I haven't tried the command line shutdown) the computer restarts itself. This computer is dual-booted with Win 7, and the shutdown command there properly halts the system.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis isn't stricly an Ubuntu question, but it is in the cause of an Ubuntu-powered home server Essentially: does wake-on-lan work if the computer is Shut Down (ie to all intents and purposes 'off' except for the hardware switch on the back), assuming that the motherboard and network interface (which in my case are one and the same) support wake-on-lan?
Also, if wake-on-lan is turned on, will this mean power going to anything other than the network interface (e.g. will PSU, CPU, case fans still be on?)Finally, will all of this work on Ubuntu 10.10 (assuming that the computer components are compatible)?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the Ubuntu system will be receiving the wake-on-lan 'call' (from a Squeezebox, though from my very limited knowledge of this stuff I don't think the source matters)
My laptop randomly shuts off, at first I thought it was an issue with the laptop overheating but during the install of 11.04 I made sure the laptop had a fan blowing on it constantly and checked it and determined it couldn't have overheated. My problem now is that I was able to use a live cd to access my old files but was presented with only two files stating that my files were encrypted, I'm don't ever recall encrypting my files and so I'm without a passphrase.
What I'm wondering, is there a way to gain access without the passphrase? Or is there a way to fix the corrupt install?
I used to like having that Red Shutdown Button on the top panel in the far right corner next to my name on older Ubuntu versions. It was easy to add with the 'Add to Panel' right-click feature that Unity eliminated. Is there a way to put that Red Shutdown button back on the far right top? IMHO it works better than the present Unity shutdown button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using latest kde version in latest opensuse. I am working with distro one and a half year now (of course I was doing updates all this period) The last twenty dates if I have a quite heavy session I can not log off (or shutdown the computer) I even tried from konsole qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0
even that did not work (well right now I can not launch any new apps from kde, but I still work with the already running).
just ran the obligatory kernel update for Karmic 9.10 and now my computer doesn't shut down when prompted to do so. It tries...goes through the logoff, makes all the motions and then hangs at the very end.
Reinstalled Ubuntu...same thing after kernel update.
I have an 80GB HDD where I installed Windows XP first and then Ubuntu. The thing is that whenever I shut down my computer and then turn it back on (wether it's right away or a few hours later, or the next day), I get the GRUB screen where you have to choose Ubuntu, but after that just a completely black screen. I then have to force a shutdown, then turn it back on, and it works. Whenever I restart it works too, this seems to happen only after a shutdown.
Specs:
Dell Dimension 4600
P4 2.8 GHz procesor
2GB RAM

I installed it via Wubi it did well, but when it told me to restart, I did, after restarting I booted Ubuntu Netbook, then it said "Installation.iso not found. This usually happens when your computer does not shutdown correctly, shutdown without unmounting/removing usb. Please run the chkdsk /r" I already ran that many times nothing happens. I have Windows XP Pro 32bit.

I am currently using a Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04
When I press the power button, I see a dialogue box which asks for confirmation and if nothing is confirmed system automatically shuts down in 60 seconds.
I want to change this time of 60 seconds to say 30 seconds. Is it possible? Also is there a way to hide that dialogue box...
I am using Fedora 15 KDE 32-bit. I am facing a problem while shutdown. It takes unusually long to shut down. It reaches the blue screen with the fedora logo within a few seconds, but it stays on the blue logo screen for 2-3 minutes before shutting down. However, I am facing no problems during startup.
About suspending F15 KDE. It goes into suspend successfully but after switching on after suspend, it just shows an unresponsive black screen.
Is anyone else facing the same problem and has it been solved before? Because I haven't come across many posts regarding F15 KDE.
I was reading that if I want to do a one time scheduled command, I should use at, which I've never done, as opposed to cron, which i'm kinda familiar with. But what I want to do is reboot my server at 3am tomorrow and force it to check the file systems with a shutdown -rF. For this do I even need to use "at" or could I just say shutdown -rF 3:00.Will that also know that I mean 3am tomorrow and not say in 3 minutes from now or 3pm?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIm having a bit of a problem with a init script which I wrote to start and stop oracle listener and database. My system is Redhat 5.4 64bit and oracle 10g2 standard database (64). I have created the script and added the script using
chkconfig add orashut, and on the script by chkconfig level 345 orashut on Now I can use service orashut start, stop, restart, and works fine and when the system comes up the database and the listener would come up as planed. But the problem is when I do a reboot or shut down the db or the listener would not shutdown as expected, I placed at K00 values as well in rc0.d and rc6.d to give the priority at the shutdown. Even though all the configurations say this script should run before everything else at the shutdown time this is not working.
2 times now our server has randomly shut down. Completely powered off as if the power cable was pulled or something. Both around the same time. 7:30ish. Once was on Friday June 5th, then last night, Wednesday June 10th.

Is there a command to remotely shutdown a computer on the local network? I have a computer running as a file/print server and I have no screen or keyboard connected to it. Would be great if I could shut it down from my laptop. I have the needed credentials (as I'm guessing these would be needed in the command?)
