I do something similar for overnight downloads on my netbook. The
system shuts down when there is 0 TCP connection.
I just use "at", but I should look into something more sophisticated.
My typical "at" usage:
liraz:~# at now + 5 hours
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh

I was about to respond if it is just turning off the system why not use
'shutdown +300' which does the same as above. But thought of checking
the diff between shutdown and poweroff. I looks like shutdown does
things more gracefully than poweroff. But shutdown does not switch off
the machine, if you want shutdown to do so you need to use -P.
