read this complete before trying:

2. open terminal , type : shutdown --help.

   you will see a detailed help how to use this command.

3.format is like: sudo shutdown [option] [time]

4.Example:  sudo shutdown -r 00:05

this will reboot(-r) system after 5 minutes.(00:05)

5.Example: sudo shutdown -h 01:00

this will halt/power-off(-h) after shutdown in 1hour 0 minutes.

6.Example: sudo shutdown -k now

this will cause a false shutdown(only warnings, no shutdown)

immediately! (as you typed now).
