Mac – How to specify shutdown time with “sudo shutdown”

macsudoterminal

In the following Terminal command sudo shutdown -r now, there is a time set ("…now"). Is there a way to set a specific time.
For example, could it be sudo shutdown -r -int 1200?

Best Answer

From man shutdown:

-r      The system is rebooted at the specified time.

[...]

 time    Time is the time at which shutdown will bring the system down and may be the word now
         (indicating an immediate shutdown) or specify a future time in one of two formats:
         +number, or yymmddhhmm, where the year, month, and day may be defaulted to the current
         system values.  The first form brings the system down in number minutes and the second
         at the absolute time specified.
