I installed Ubuntu in Kiosk mode in a library and I want it to re-start between users. Users always forget to shut down computer. Is it possible to have the computer shut down or reboot automatically, instead of sleeping or hibernating? Thanks.

You can use sleepd command to and -s option to modify the action upon inactivity.

Install it using:

sudo apt-get install sleepd 
sleepd [-s command] -u300

Visit sleepd manpage for more info.

Standby/Suspend is a Hardware level state. If you need to implement auto shutdown during standby, you will need to do it in hardware/BIOS level.
