1. Which platform and crond are you on? Is the crontab format correct for your environment?
00 22 * * * root /PATH/TO/JAKARTA/bin/shutdown.sh vs. 00 22 * * * /PATH/TO/JAKARTA/bin/shutdown.sh 2. You may want to see if shutdown.sh works as root. 3. You can also try 00 22 * * * /PATH/TO/JAKARTA/bin/shutdown.sh >> logfile 2>&1 or whatever works in your shell, and post caught errors. 4. If you're in Fedora, you can put these 2 lines in a script (say, tomcat1.sh) and 00 22 * * * root /YOUR/PATH/tomcat1.sh su - tomcat /PATH/TO/JAKARTA/bin/setclasspath.sh su - tomcat /PATH/TO/JAKARTA/bin/startup.sh HTH.
