Power shutdown

[Gilgamesh]

I'm looking for a way to do a full unattended power down (not suspend or
hibernate) of my system at a set time each day. Would anyone know of a
utility to do this?

Thanks

Create a scheduled task and point it to SHUTDOWN.EXE

SHUTDOWN.EXE /?

From a command prompt will get you the list of command line options.

SHUTDOWN -S -T 10

For example will shutdown the system after a 10 second warning.

I use a small program called "Switch Off" which runs in the System Tray.
