  Are you looking for the MS DOS command?
  
  "shutdown -s -t 10" - To shutdown the computer after 10 seconds.

  No, we can use the batch file "shutdown -s -t 10" to logoff the PC by clicking it. But I need a program which runs automatically once we login the system by setting the logoff time. For eg: you can see this in Sify Iway.

  Well I don't have any idea about SifyIway.
  
  You can use this "shutdown" command in a C program also with the help of "system()" function.
  
  Let me give an example program:
  
  

  #include 
  #include 
  
  void main ()
  {
      system ("shutdown -s -t 60");
  }

  Copy the exe file of this program into the StartUp folder in Start Menu.
  The computer will shutdown after 60 seconds each time it starts.

  That's right, more for letting user enters a specific time hh:mm:ss, just get the current time & subtract from the given time convert to seconds & pass it to system().
