I want to know how to schedule shutdown on my linuxserver at 00.00 every night. im using clarkconnect. /lucas

Sorry, I probably can't see your issue. shutdown -r now ? / reboot ? use at-command for scheduling or crontab ? Could you provide some more hints ? Anything I didn' catch in your post? cheers wollie

You can use cron to schedule the shutdown. Enter a command in crontab as follows: '0 0 * * * shutdown -h now' (no quotes) The above command directs cron to execute the command 'shutdown -h now' (shutdown - halt the system - now) at the '0' minute, on the '0' hour, all days of the month, all months of the year, all days of the week. If you are familiar with vim or vi, you can do 'crontab -e' to edit the crontab file with the above command (I do not use vi here), or you can use the text editor of your choice. On most Linux systems, only the root user has the authority to shutdown the system, so you will have to be logged on the server as the root user to set up the cron job.
