Schedule Shutdown each evening

-

hi,

have g4 imac running 10.3.9 in lab , want shutdown automatically each evening. set time in energy saving schedule pane in systems preferences. nothing happens.
there 2 account son computer , i've tried in both. i've confirmed 1 logged in @ time. i've tried locking pane , keeping unlocked. i've tried scheduling sleep rather shutting down , still nothing.
appreciated.
 

puzzling, should work. though have never scheduled shutdown/sleep.

setting go sleep after 15-20 minutes, macs use little power (0.5w or so) while asleep power usage shouldn't considerably higher.
