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.

Requirements

  • zsh shell for macOS
  • bash shell for Linux
  • PowerShell for Windows
