The command "shutdown -h 13:00" is used to schedule a system shutdown at a specific time.

Here's the breakdown:

  • "shutdown" is the command used to initiate a system shutdown or restart.
  • "-h" is an option that specifies a halt, which means it will shut down the system completely.
  • "13:00" signifies the scheduled time for the shutdown. In this case, it means the system will shut down at 1:00 PM.

So, when you execute this command, it will schedule a shutdown for the computer at 1:00 PM.
