This is very easily done with the at(1) command.

For instance if you wish to shutdown at 2:45 am once, then

# at 02:45 <ENTER>
shutdown -hP now
<Ctrl-D>
< ...output from at snipped...>

#

What I showed within <> markers are the key presses that you have to
manually do. ;)

Now if you wish to do it daily then crontab -e will suit you fine.

45      02      *       *       *       /sbin/poweroff

of some such line in crontab will do fine.

Best,
Girish
