Feature request: schedule linode deletion

I would like a button in the Linodes tab in the web interface to delete a linode later. Like "delete in 24 hours". Sometimes I'll do a short job on a GPU machine and by the end I'm too tired to remember to delete it, and accidentally waste like $20.

You can do this with the Linode API in a shell script. You'll need some other entity to issue the request though (perhaps the machine you use to log in to your instance in the first place?).
