I didn't find any of these details before, so I'm adding them to the
wiki after this. I think the shutdown seems good (though it shut down
some machines I was testing on Sunday - perhaps it was after 16:00).
However I don't want wake-up at all. Some computers are not used some
days, or not until the afternoon, etc. Also what would happen in the
school holidays?
