Shutdown server if no ssh

shutdown_on_inactivity.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Shuts down the host on inactivity.
#
# Designed to be executed as root from a cron job.
# It will power off on the 2nd consecutive run without an active ssh session.
# That prevents an undesirable shutdown when the machine was just started, or on a brief disconnect.
#
# To enable, add this entry to /etc/crontab:
# */5 *   * * *   root    /usr/local/bin/shutdown-if-inactive
