How to display "Shutdown in x-minutes" warning popup?


For convoluted reasons, I sometimes have to run my Mint 21.2 desktop under a shutdown timer. How can I create a popup warning to display "Shutdown in x minutes" ? Right now all I'm doing is pulling up the terminal and constantly resetting the timer. A popup warning or something similar would simplify things when I get distracted. My terminal command skills are still pretty basic.

Smile Thanks. Does the job well enough for my purposes.

Wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but why argue with success. Thank you.
