hi
here is some simple code to shutdown the computer at a particular time.you probably may have more better script then this. or even write simple shell script. but here is what i use.
$cont = "075500"; // time at which the computer must halt 07:55:00
$var = `date +%H%M%S`;//initializing the $var and getting the current time from the shell command and storing the value in $var
while(1)
{
if($var == $cont) //checking the values
{
`init 0`//signal command to shut down the computer.
`exit`
}
else
{
`sleep 1`;
$var = `date +%H%M%S`;//after every second getting the current time and matching the value in a infinite while loop.
}
}
as halt command need super user privilege. you need to run the script as root or sudoer
