A simple command can be entered in the Terminal to schedule a time for the system to shut down.
- Go to Applications (or Main Menu) > Accessories > Terminal.
- Enter sudo shutdown -h +m (replace m with the number of minutes, e.g. +60).
OR: enter sudo shutdown -h hh:mm (replace hh:mm with the time on the 24hr clock, e.g. 23:15). - Enter password and minimize the Terminal window.
The system will then shut down within the minutes or at the time specified. To cancel a scheduled time, enter sudo shutdown -c in the Terminal.

Note:
CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm), if not added yet, can be installed this way:
- Click "Applications" (or "Main Menu"), select "Ubuntu Software Center".
- Type ccsm into the Search box.
- Select "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)" and click the "Install" button.
- Enter the password used upon installation of Ubuntu.
