Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
When remotely shutting down a machine, it's useful to delay the shutdown so that you can be sure the command executed cleanly, even if your SSH connection is terminated. Therefore a short delay period (e.g. 10 seconds) is useful. upstart's shutdown command does not support this, because it only supports delays specified in minutes or absolute times, whereas I believe previous shutdown commands had per-second resolution through the -t argument.

Hi Justin, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.
The runlevel command going back to pre-hardy days has always only taken minute granularity offsets. So this is, if nothing else, a feature request.
