Hello,

I’ve set up a print server with auto shutdown capability.
It checks if an idle timeout is reached, if there are active print jobs and if the idle timeout is greater than the uptime the server shuts down.
It also has a lock option if you want to have the server online (You could enable the lock with the ~/.xsession and/or the ~/.bashrc file).

#!/bin/bash

IDLE=30		#idle time in min

echo "Shutdown script"
echo "#########################################"
echo ""

if [[ "$1" == "lock" ]];
	then
	touch /var/lock/shutdown.sh.lock
fi

if [[ "$1" == "unlock" ]];
        then
        	rm -f /var/lock/shutdown.sh.lock
		echo "Lock file removed, exiting"
		exit 0
fi

if [ -f /var/lock/shutdown.sh.lock ];
	then
		LOCK=1
		echo "Lock file exists, exiting"
		exit 0
	else
		LOCK=0
fi

MODTIME=`stat -c %Y /var/log/cups/page_log | awk '{ printf $1 "n"}'`
TIME=`date +%s`
SECS=$(echo "$IDLE*60" | bc)
TEMP=`echo "$MODTIME+$SECS" | bc`
UPTIME=$(cat /proc/uptime | awk '{ printf $1 }')
UPTIME=$(echo $UPTIME / 1 | bc)
lpstat -t | grep -q "now printing"
PRINTING=$?

echo "Uhrzeit $TIME"
echo "Uptime $UPTIME"
echo "Idle secs $SECS"
echo "Temp $TEMP"
echo "Printing $PRINTING"

if  (( ( "$TEMP" < "$TIME" ) && ( "$UPTIME" > "$SECS" ) &! $LOCK  && $PRINTING )); 
	then
		echo "Printer spooler system shutdown because of idle timeout." | wall
		#echo $TEMP "<" $TIME
		/sbin/halt -p
	else
		echo "Printer spooler system: Timeout not reached"
fi

Have fun!
