Why not just write your own script?
CRONTAB_01 = "* 16 * * 1-5 "/usr/local/bin/my_shutdown"
where my_shutdown:
#! /bin/sh
if [ `hostname` != 'asus_hostname' ] ; then /sbin/shutdown -P now ; fi"
(note backticks around hostname, but quotes around asus_hostname)
or, given how short the script is you could just shove the whole thing in
your crontab line.
