Hi Jack,
Mac's have an easy way to do this in the system preferences area under energy settings.  We shut down all our Mac's this way in the late afternoon.  
I haven't found anything for the PC's but I also would love to find something (preferably free!)

We are beginning to look at ways to control when computers and monitors
are on and how to shut them down without human intervention.

Im wondering who is doing this now and what software or hardware are
you using?

Thanks,
