I just use "at", but I should look into something more sophisticated.
My typical "at" usage:

? ?warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
? ?at> /sbin/poweroff
? ?at> <EOT>

'at' is a one time deal. It is fine if you want your machine to
shutdown at a specific time. I also use it to _start_ the download of
iso or big package files after midnight but what about shutting down
the machine after the download is complete? It is not deterministic
therefore you need to monitor the no. of TCP connections on your
system at regular intervals. IMO, cron is the best option.
