Shutting down knoppix automatically

[TheSpider]

How do i prevent the "remove CD and press enter" thing when shutting down?

I want my PC to power down at a given time, cause its noisy and its in my bedroom. It needs to run for a while after i leave it, but shutdown doesnt actually power off until i press enter.

Thanks

Haven't tried it myself but this might work.
At the boot prompt type:

knoppix noeject noprompt

Hmm, that means i need to know that i want to shut it down automatically when i boot up. :(
Is there a way to do it if i have already logged in?

Umm, why would it not be possible to always boot like that ? The only difference should be that it doesn't spit out the CD or wait for a keypress when it is shutting down. You still decide when to shut down, either manually of for instance like this (as root) :

shutdown -h hh:mm

Where hh is the hour of the day and mm the minutes.

Or like this:

shutdown -h +m

Where m is the number of minutes to run before shutting down.
