How to Delay Shutdown or Restart on a Mac

Continuing on a previous post, this post shows you how to do the same thing in a mac with a slightly different command line in your Terminal.

Trying to accomplish the same thing, type the following:

sudo shutdown -r +360

-r – To reboot the computer.

time – Sets the time-out period before shutdown to +minutes or you can put an exact time in yymmddhhmm format.

In this example, the time is set to +360 minutes (or 6 hours).

If you make a mistake or just want to change your mind on the parameters, you can always cancel your job by executing this command:

sudo killall shutdown

For more available options, you can always type the following in Terminal:

man shutdown

And it will show you the System Manager’s Manual similar to the screenshot below:

man shutdown on a mac Terminal

That’s it.
