That is valid.
Are classes in session or are computers accessable at off hours?
If not, then run a cron job at times when the computer isn't/cannot be
used that will just shutdown at that time.
I also see an issue with the monitors being on as well.
Another thing to think about is if it is at a University, then look at
making these systems available for a grid during the off hours. We
have computers around our organization that are configured to do this.
