I would like to set my Mac Studio, running Ventura, to complete shutdown after 30 min of inactivity. How do I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for any helpful response.

If this is a repeating & predictable time... like work related shutdown(?)
I will add— Apple provides you the ability to schedule repeating events

FWIW, there's no built-in method to shut down after a period of inactivity. There is a third-party app called Power Manager that may allow it. I don't use it so I don't know if it can. I would check with the developer.

In case I completely misunderstood your question and you meant how to log out after 30 mins or how to shut down at a certain time, I'm sorry.
Just to add, after looking through the Power Manager website, the app can run an AppleScript to shut down the computer after a period of inactivity. So it looks like it would work for you.
Thanks, that is what I was looking for.
Unfortunately is not what I was needing, this only logs out. I need something that does complete shutdown.
I will try this. Is there perhaps a script that will run a shutdown after 30 min of inactivity without having to get a 3rd party software like Power Manager?
How can I set complete shutdown after 30 min of inactivity on a MAC?
