You need a valet switch to keep it from booting when you are commuting only 5 minutes.

You need to search on terms "auto shutdown laptop" or "autostart laptop" or variations of those terms to see what others have done. The solutions range from soldering wires to the motherboard to using a dock and hacking the wiring there or a physical solenoid device.
