without using a cronjob how would I have a ubuntu server shutdown after 2 days (2880 minutes) at midnight?
The essence of what I want to do is this:
bash
shutdown -r +2880 00:00
which would tell shutdown to shutdown after 2880 minutes, but to make sure that it is midnight before actually shutting down.

Use the
at
command ? I'm a similar way to terdons answer but used instead of sleep. It doesn't require your shell to be left openFor example
