Hello:
Somebody can help me, i need know how tourn off the server daily a detremiate hour.

using cron? how? please my server is netware 3.2
 
Check this link out:

Regular unix-like cron utility.

Oversimplified case: create an .NCF file with two commands in it - DOWN and then EXIT. Put it in the cron.

If you want to be polite to your users, you can add sending warning messages to them asking to logout, then force them out.

If you want to actually turn off the box, you can set it in BIOS a few minutes after the cron above runs.

Good luck.
