You could use a command to go off-line, instead of shutting down the
computer. It depends how often, long the computer is in use. A shutdown
and startup isn't good for the drives, OTOH turning a computer on, when
it's just used half an hour a day, would be bad. Suspend etc. might nt
work when e.g. using a special sound server, such as jackd.
