then type in shutdown. This will show you the varying different commands.
But the ones that we want are: "shutdown -s -t *amount of time* (the time is in seconds only), and "shutdown -a" to abort any shutdowns in progress.
5 min = 300 seconds
15 min = 900 seconds
30 min = 1800 seconds
1 hour = 3600 seconds
2 hours = 7200 seconds
example command would be
shutdown -s -t 5400
(this is an hour and a half)

I actually wanted to post and say thank you for this. Sometimes I upload to YouTube for 2-3 hours but dont feel comfortable leaving my computer on that long if I dont have to. This is extremely handy and didnt expect to find something like that in this thread.
