With this tool you can schedule regular shutdowns of workstations in the
evening, and also wake them up every morning, using either nvram-wakeup, ACPI
wakeup or wake-on-lan.
.
For the wake-on-lan wake-up sequence you need one awake machine on your local
network / subnet. This can be a server machine or a client machine that got
just previously woken up by nvram-wakeup.
.
The shutdown sequence will be initiated hourly after 4pm via a CRON job.
However, only machines that appear inactive / unused will be shut down.
Machines that are currently in use will remain up and running.
.
The Shutdown-at-Night tool can be activated via a config file or via
membership in a NIS netgroup called shutdown-at-night-hosts.
