Title: Automatic Shutdown
Post by: pedrohfonseca on Thursday 15 April 2010, 11:18:05 pm
Hello ,
I would like to know if is there a way to program an EndianFirewall PC so it shutdown automatically in a specific time, every day?
Thanks in advance! :)

Try setting up a cron job. There is a Knowledge Base article here:

kb.endian.com/entry/43/

are you trying to do a nightly reboot, or a complete shutdown?

I'm not sure how you would get it to turn back on if you want the later. Unless your NIC supports Wake on Lan... You would need to trigger it from an external source.
