Multi-OS Sleep or Shutdown Timer Scripts

This repository contains scripts to schedule either sleep or shutdown for macOS, Linux, and Windows devices. Each script provides a countdown and the ability to abort the planned action.

Features

• User can choose between putting the device to sleep or shutting it down.
• Accepts one-letter answers for action choice: 's' or 'S' for sleep, 'd' or 'D' for shutdown.
• Validates user inputs and repeatedly prompts until valid input is provided.
• Allows user to specify the delay before the chosen action in minutes.
• Displays the exact time when the device will perform the chosen action.
• Provides a countdown every minute until the action time.
• Allows aborting the planned action by pressing Ctrl+C (macOS and Linux only).

Usage

macOS

1. Download the sleep_timer_macos.zsh file.
2. Give execute permissions to the script:

   chmod +x sleep_timer_macos.zsh

3. Run the script:

   ./sleep_timer_macos.zsh
   

Linux

1. Download the sleep_timer_linux.sh file.
2. Give execute permissions to the script:

   chmod +x sleep_timer_linux.sh

3. Run the script:

   ./sleep_timer_linux.sh
   

Windows

1. Download the sleep_timer_windows.ps1 file.
2. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
3. If you have not done so, adjust the PowerShell execution policy to allow the execution of scripts:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

4. Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded script and run it::

   ./sleep_timer_windows.ps1
   

After you are done, set the PowerShell execution policy back to its original setting (Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted) for security reasons.
