Cloud instances bill by the hour (or the minute) – and right now you're burning money. Use snooze to auto-shutdown your instances in 45 minutes.
Add snooze to your ~/.bashrc
alias snooze='sudo shutdown -c ; sudo shutdown -h +45 &'
snooze
When you want to extend your session, run snooze

The system is going down for halt in 45 minutes!
How does this work?
shutdown -c cancels the shutdown, and shutdown -h +45 schedules a shutdown in 45min.
How can we automate this?
Stay tuned !
