shutdown: Power off (halt) at 1:00 pm (Uses 24h clock).
$ shutdown -h ${1300}
try on your machine

The command "shutdown -h ${1300}" is used to shut down a computer system at a specified time.

Here, "shutdown" is the command that initiates the system shutdown process, and "-h" is an option specifying that the system should be halted after shutting down.

The "${1300}" is a placeholder for the time at which the shutdown will occur. In this case, "${1300}" suggests that the shutdown is scheduled for 13:00 (1:00 PM) in a 24-hour format. The specific time can be replaced with any desired time in the same format.

Essentially, when this command is executed, the system will start the shutdown process and then halt the system at the specified time.
