A daily script that running 'shutdown -h 2' (or any number of minutes you want) should do the trick. In most cases, it will give you a message in your GUI but it will definitely give you a warning in console. A simple 'shutdown -a' from root will cancel it when you get the message. Maybe not the absolute easiest solution but it's simple enough to implement in a minute or two.
