title: Linux Shutdown with dbus-send
body: <p>I am writing a Java app to shutdown my Linux box remotely.</p>
  
  <p>The desktop app sits and waits for a command to be sent to it.  I have tried using "shutdown -h" but this requires sudo privileges and is not an option.  I then found a way to shutdown without sudo using the following dbus-send solution:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Shutdown
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine but I am trying to figure out, using dbus-send, if its possible to do a timed shutdown similar to "shutdown 3600" which would shut the computer down in 1 hour?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
