As root run "crontab -e" and put in as content:

45 19 * * * /sbin/poweroff

Instead of poweroff you may use "/sbin/shutdown -h now" or give your
users 5 minutes to finish their work.

So the host will poweroff each day - if it is running - at 7:45PM. More
about the format of crontab lines and the date/time setting in "man 5
crontab".
