Description
I hate it when I have to do a lenghty update(such as when first installing Ubuntu)but being in a rush and not having enough time to wait for the PC to update in order to shut it down.
I suggest a "Shut down computer when update complete" option in Ubuntu Update Manager.

Some updates need user intervention. Without the user, the update would last forever.
I suggest you do this at the evening:
sudo sh -c 'aptitude update; aptitude -yd dist-upgrade; poweroff'
And then do the update in the morning using the normal update manager. Good luck

installation of packages should continue once you turn on your pc and log in ubuntu.
i.e: program/package X didn't finish installing, would you like to finish the installation now ?
it would be great to have an option: "just download packages, do not install and shutdown computer after download.."

Updating directly from the CD/DVD please, will be more easier for us.

I don't think this is a good idea, and can constitute for "bloatware" - a small feature needed for a specific population, but not needed by the rest.
There's a bunch of programs that can take care of shutting down for you, or even the first terminal command the guy posted will do it.

I hate to say this.......
Windows XP, and I believe Vista, has an option as to when the updates are automagically applied.....I always had my updates set for 03:00.
When the updates apply, the machine reboots and is waiting at the log in screen the next time I use the system.
The allows the updates to come in and then apply without the user interacting in any way.
Just a thought for those of us who keep the computers running for such things as BOINC

unattended-upgrades could be modified to do this.
