I have done this for my system.
Make a cron that shuts system down.

examples;
59 23 * * * shutdown -h 0       # shut system down
0  19 * * * ifconfig eth0 down  # turn off firewall after work hours

       The time and date fields are:

              field          allowed values
              -----          --------------
              minute         0-59
              hour           0-23
              day of month   1-31
              month          1-12 (or names, see below)
              day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

       A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for
‘‘first-last’’.
