Hi Robin;

The computer are accessible at off hours, but
only from 8:00 till 23:00.

Your cron sugestion could be an idea while
I can't implement the solution that I want.

I'm thinking in grid cause we have research groups
that could use idle cpu to perform simulations.

If you have sugestions (links) related to grid implementation,
please send to me.

Thanks;

Adriano.

That is valid.

Are classes in session or are computers accessable at off hours?

If not, then run a cron job at times when the computer isn't/cannot be used that will just shutdown at that time.

I also see an issue with the monitors being on as well.

Another thing to think about is if it is at a University, then look at making these systems available for a grid during the off hours. We have computers around our organization that are configured to do this.
