Stuff computers are better at: shutting down at the wanted time. Just a simple:
root@hostname:~# at 23:01
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> shutdown -h now
at> <EOT>
job 3 at Mon Dec  1 23:01:00 2008
root@hostname:~# 
The <EOT> was were I pressed ctrl-d. You might say "why not shutdown -h 23:01 ?". Well, your users will be bothered by the announcements between now and the shutdown time.
