Shutdown is pretty easy:



echo 'sudo /sbin/shutdown now' | at 11pm


Wake-up is much harder - Wake On Lan is the topic to google.

    Very good. One simplification is that shutdown takes a time argument. To shutdown at 11pm, it is sufficient to run: sudo /sbin/shutdown 23:00 (23:00 is military time for 11pm). The use of at is unnecessary.

  • Quite right @John1024. Edited the answer to use 'now' but you can indeed use shutdown with a date and then cancel it later with sudo shutdown -c if necessary.

    Many firmware setups have an option to set a power on time. Using this is easier than Wake On LAN, which would need another device that is always on.
