AutoShutdown

This repository gives you instruction to follow for having an auto-shutdown instance after a defined duration without any ssh connection.

1 — Shell script

You have to put it somewhere in your server, reachable and executable.

By default, it is set to auto shutdown instance after 3 hours (hence it is set 10800 in the condition), but you can set it diffrerently

2 — Service

You will need here to set up the service unit and timer. Follow these instructions:

Service 🛎️

sudo systemctl edit autoshutdown.service --full --force

and add in the editor the content of autoshutdown.service.

do not forget to replace the command ExecStart by the new somewhere you have chosen in the first step

Timer ⏰

sudo systemctl edit autoshutdown.timer --full --force

and add in the editor the content of autoshutdown.timer.

Activation 🏁

sudo systemctl enable autoshutdown.timer
sudo systemctl start autoshutdown.timer
sudo systemctl status autoshutdown.timer

Check the last command answer if it is all great.

That's all! 🎉
