Question Auto Shutdown at time

Well, I guess, my english sucks, I've searched trough the entire forum, but couldn't find what I'm looking for :
My Linux server (SuSE 8.1) starts at 7:00 AM everyday (thanks to motherboard option), and I'd like it to shutdown at 6:00 PM.
How can I do that ?
Thanks !

You can put the "shutdown" command in as a cron job set to 6:00pm.

Here's the shutdown command info:
