Hello,
the easiest will be to add a cronjob with the command crontab -e , and to add the following line :

0 3 25 * * /sbin/shutdown now

Hi,

One of the ways:

Use command `at` and `atd` daemon:
1. Install at
# yum install -y at

2. Start atd
# service atd start

3. Plan to do something:
# echo "touch /tmp/1.txt" | at 1629 Dec 20
job 1 at Wed Dec 20 16:29:00 2017

4. Check:
# date
Wed Dec 20 16:29:09 NOVT 2017
# ls -la /tmp/1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 16:29 /tmp/1.txt

So, if it works for you, you can use any other date and any other command. If you execute this command as user, use `sudo`.

And do not forget to remove this task before 25 Jan 2018

Thanks for reply, What about this command line:

screen -d -m shutdown -h +$((($(date +%s -d "12/25 15:00 2017") - $(date +%s)) / 60))

The system is going down for halt in 7094 minutes!

Seems to work
