Shutdown Cron Jobs

[Jacopx]

Hi everyone, sorry for my inexperience, i have create a Cron Jobs for shutting down my FreeNAS, this are the specification:

User: root
Command: shutdown -p now
Short description: Shutdown 01.30
Minute: 30
Hour: 01
Day of Month: 1
Month: Everymonth
Day: Everyday
Redirect Stdout: Checked
Redirect Stderr: Checked
Enabled: Checked

I need my server to go out every night to save energy! Someone know how to help me?

shutdown -p now

I think the command you are looking for is: shutdown -h now

-h is for halting.. As a cron its not necessary it'll run when OP programs it via GUI.. Is -p not working? Your cron should control the time so -p should be fine.. Is power not cleanly turning off but everything is down or? HINT: Based on your schedule.. You specified only 1 day of the month.. Fix that first! Time is fine.. Day is wrong..

To turn server back on use RTC alarm in BIOS... Or schedule startup :)
