Hi Marc,

Just checked the man page for shutdown(8), and it says it was
added to systemd 250.  It supports the timespec and wall parameters,
but I'm not sure how well...

Anyway, I'm running 255 on Linux Mint 22.1, which
seems to have been pulled in from the System76 repo that I use:

$ systemd --version
systemd 255 (255.4-1ubuntu8.6pop0~1742486928~24.04~40a1bd7~dev)
[...]

-- 
-v System76 Thelio Mega v1.1 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti
   OS: Linux 6.14.2 Release: Mint 22.1 Mem: 258G
