How about using a cron job to shut the system down, then have the timer set to
turn off the power some reasonable time later (say 10-15 minutes to make sure
that the shutdown had completed and to allow for any clock / timer setting
differences? Then when the system powers back up, same process as the
suggestion for the boxes connected to UPS.
