var
    const
        second=10
        minute=600
        hour=36000
proc
    unit2text(unit,plural=0,capital=0)
        switch(unit)
            if(second)
                return "[capital?"S":"s"]econd[plural?"s":null]"
            if(minute)
                return "[capital?"M":"m"]inute[plural?"s":null]"
            if(hour)
                return "[capital?"H":"h"]our[plural?"s":null]"
    timer(unit=second,time=second,timedown=1)
        time/=10
        while(time>0)
            sleep(unit)
            time-=timedown
        return 1
mob
    verb
        reboot()
            var/list/units=list("Seconds"=second,"Minutes"=minute,"Hours"=hour)
            var/unit=input("Which measure of units would like to use in this?")in units
            unit=units[unit]
            var/time=input("How many [unit2text(unit,1)] would you like to use?")as num
            if(!isnum(time)||!time)return
            for(var/i=1 to time)
                while(!timer(unit,unit))
                if(time-1>0)world<<"World rebooting in [round((time+1)-i)] [i!=time-1?unit2text(unit,1):unit2text(unit)]!"
            world.Reboot()


I made this awhile ago, so it may not work. :p
But, it worked when I tried it, so meh.

Mess with world.timeofday, or world.realtime.

sleep(100) //Timer set for 10 seconds until the next action is done.


Remember, it's in ticks, or 1/10th of a second, so always think like 10 times X, where X = how many seconds you want to have it wait.

EDIT: If you wanted to do a reboot...

mob/verb/reboot()
        if(alert("Are you sure?","Reboot","Yes","No") == "Yes")
                world<<"Server rebooting in 10 seconds!"
                sleep(100)
                world.Reboot()
                
                
//Or, if you want it do be divided...

mob/verb/reboot()
        if(alert("Are you sure?","Reboot","Yes","No") == "Yes")
                world<<"Server rebooting in 10 seconds!"
                sleep(50)
                world<<"Server rebooting in 5 seconds!"
                sleep(50)
                world.Reboot()

The second reboot code is messed up. It's gonna say World rebooting in 5 seconds and reboot.
