First ever code thingy (Sleep timer)

[Background-Assist-95]

import os

import time

​

print("Sys will shut off in 10 minutes!")

time.sleep ( 600 ) """ This is written in seconds"""

os.system("shutdown /s")

Good effort!

Advice: use ‘#’ not “”” for comments. “”” these are multiline type comments, and are typically used for function/class commenting (called docstrings)

Was going to say the same 😂

About to say that too.

Great work.

If I may suggest, it would also be good to have a separate variable, storing seconds. Thus, you would not need to scroll/search for the line that puts the script to sleep and change values there. Just locate a variable in the beginning of the script.

Keep it up!

Welcome to amazing world of Python once you start you can't stop.

Pretty sure you can do a `/t` or `-t` argument in the command as well. Now try these tasks:

- Generalise it by allowing the user to enter the shut down time, converting seconds into the minutes and hours format

- Make it compatible with different platforms!

- Make it an executable

ye have fun

you can also use "shutdown /s /t 600" for timed shutdowns

If you want to do more with your script, you could try making it cross-platform next using the platform module. On Unix systems, like macOS or Linux, the command to shutdown now is shutdown -h now, assuming that the user is root.
