Automatic shut down!

[xocal]

I need to enable an auto shut down of a laptop after a given time from switch on! Is there a built in internal timer which I could preset? The laptop is an IBM 570 with ultrabase, with xp+sp2 os.

So, you want it to Auto shutdown, after WHAT?
You want it to turn off after 2 minutes??

Set it up, to chack EMAIL/or something, and then shutdown??
Cant with a laptop...It can goto Standby mode and wait, and then restart...but I DONT think it can TURNON, from shutdown.

Desktop can do this 'IF' you have the right hardware.
