Just a tip: alter your cronjob to check for presence of a "flag" (maybe a specific file). If it isn't there, don't shut down, but only set this flag (create the file). This way, if you want to prevent the server from shutting down on an evening, you just clear the flag (remove the file). The machine won't shut down, but only restores the flag so it will shut down next night again.
