@bbsixzz Many thanks for your report.

For time delay on shutdown and reboot you need to enable systemd-logind:

systemctl unmask systemd-logind
G_AGI libpam-systemd

EDIT

Probably DBus is sufficient:

G_AGI dbus

Try this first before installing the whole logind dependencies as above.

G_AGI dbus did the trick

Is the lack of functionality a deliberate choice, or is this something you plan on adding later?

[MichaIng]

@bbsixzz It was a deliberate choice indeed. But we need to collect + communicate these cases better, I think, especially since shutdown command is present by default, does not give a clear error message or info about dbus need for time-based shutdown or reboot schedules, e.g. when running shutdown --help.
