Auto shutdown and restart

[MadMan3353]

I have Truenas scale running on a z420 with 32gb ram and 3 pools. My scrub task and other task run over the weekend at night when no one using the the NAS. Is it possible to have the NAS auto shutdown Monday-Friday over night and wake up In the morning before people start to use the NAS? If possible how would I go about doing that?

This has been asked before on the forums. Generically:
1. Shutdowns are easily accomplished with a cron job created under Tasks->Cron Jobs to run shutdown -h now daily from M-F.
2. Startups are trickier without an IPMI. For an HP Z420, the simplest is to have another system run a cron job M-F to send a wake on LAN packet to the Z420.

What would be the command to set shutdown m-f at 11pm. Sorry never used corn before a little bit of is novice here.

I forget the Scale UI doesn't have Tasks. You'll have to accomplish this from the API: midclt call cronjob.create '{ "user": "root", "command": "shutdown -h now", "description": "Shutdown M-F at 11 PM", "enabled": true, "schedule": { "minute": "0", "hour": "23", "dom": "*", "month": "*", "dow": "mon,tue,wed,thu,fri" } }'.

Scale has cron jobs. System Settings / Advanced / Cron Jobs. A shutdown here is easy
