In addition to hardware related issues involved in shutting down
systems over night, be sure to take a look at all the things that
normally get done by "cron" in the middle of the night.  You'll
have to reconfigure things to happen sometime during the day, when
they will be competing for cpu cycles with people trying to get
their work done.  Much fun.
