Unix and Linux: There is no '-t' option for the command shutdown. Delay is always in minutes.
Line 98:
In [[Unix]] and [[Linux]], the <code>shutdown</code> command can be used to turn off or [[Booting|reboot]] a computer. Only the [[superuser]] can shut the system down.
 
One commonly issued form of this command is <code>shutdown -h now</code>, which will shut down a system immediately. Another one is <code>shutdown -r now</code> to reboot. Another form allows the user to specify an exact time or a delay before shutdown: <code>shutdown -h 20:00</code> will turn the computer off at 8:00 PM, and <code>shutdown -r -t 60+1</code> will automatically reboot the machine within 60 secondsin (one minute) of issuing the command.<ref>{{man|8|shutdown|die.net}}</ref>
