NAME

	autohaltd 0.1 - Bring the system down when it is inactive

SYNOPSIS

	autohaltd [OPTION]... [INTERVAL]... [-- [SHUTDOWN_ARGUMENT]...]

	autohalt [OPTION]... [INTERVAL]... [-- [SHUTDOWN_ARGUMENT]...]

DESCRIPTION

	autohaltd automatically shuts down the machine (power off),

	when noone has been logged in for a long enough time.

	autohalt shuts down the machine if noone has been logged in

	for a long enough time.

	autohaltd shall shut down the machine when the sum of

	INTERVAL has elapsed since the last user logout. autohalt

	shall shut down the machine only if the sum of INTERVAL

	has elapsed since the last user logout. Each INTERVAL must

	be a non-negative integer, optionally with a unit:

	s	Seconds.

	m	Minutes (default). Note that it is 'm', not 'min'.

	h	Hours.

	Any argument added after '--' is passed to shutdown(8).

	'-h' and 'now' will  always be passed, at the end. You

	cannot add a warning message, as this would have to be

	added after 'now'. However, a warning message is

	unnecessary, as the computer will shutdown immediately,

	and there should not be any users on the machine when

	this happens.

OPTIONS

	-h, --help

		Print usage information.

	-v, --version

		Print program name and version.

	-c, --copyright

		Print copyright information.

	-f, --foreground

		Do not daemonise the process.

		Only valid for autohaltd.

NOTES

	This package will not function properly unless your

	login programs logs logins to utmp. Be sure to test it

	properly before deploying. It also preferred, but not

	required, that logouts are recorded to utmp in some

	customary fashion.

RATIONALE

	In environments where the number of computers is large,

	you can save on the environment and save money by

	turning of computers that are not used.
