Hi all,

I'm using Fedora and I want to be able to set my system up to shut down at a specific time ad hoc. I've been trying to do this using the cron but I can't get the init or shutdown routine to work. Can somebody confirm what the problem is ( I presume this task can be done remotely ).

Thanks.
