Set Thinstation Shutdown time

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I would like it so all my thinstation machines shut down at say 18:00. I know you have the option to have a timeout when it has been disconnected for a certain amount of time.

 

Thanks

I looked into this a while back. I think you need to build another image and set a shutdown time in cron, and make sure NTP works!

I just googled and they say make sure the acpi module is in the build and acpi is enabled in bios:

 

Old Nabble - thinstation-general - time based shutdown with cronjob does not work

It's already shown in the sample configuration file:

 

#CRON_JOB="00 20 * * * /bin/poweroff"

 

Just remove the # and edit the time

Thanks, will have a look at this

 

Please can a mod rename this thread to
