vixie-cron issue

[asankaan]

Hi,

In my gentoo box, i have installed vixie-cron 4.1-r12.
I want to shutdown my pc daily in a specific time & I used cron job to get it done.
My Cron tab : 30 18 * * * /sbin/halt
But, above does not work.
But, When i use /sbin/reboot , it reboots the pc at the given time though /sbin/halt does not work.
Does anyone have any idea on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Try poweroff or shutdown now instead of halt.
