Thanks, it was more about configuring the TIME it will take to shutdown, lets say 2 hours, than the shutdown itself.
Nevertheless If i were to change it from system settings it will remain the same, until I change it again.
I was looking for a more dynamic app. Kind of like a shutdown button, with a popup and a field to specify the time, or the timeout period.


(best seen in courrier new) :-)

It will be awesome to program it and start doing something on ubuntu.
