Edit /etc/crontab and add the line:

 55 22 * * * root shutdown -h +5 'No computer past 11'

This tells cron to run the shutdown command at 22:55 every day, where the
shutdown command in question specifies to shut down in 5 minutes and
indicates a message to send to all logged-in users.
*********************************************

It looks like my posting problem is now solved, so I hope we can continue
with this project.

1.)  I've already posted the contents of the two files Steve asked for.

2.)  I added the above line to '/etc/crontab'. Shutdown did occur, but no
message poped up on the screen. Or, if it did, it was momentary. I believe
'cron' is 'Vixie cron', if that makes any difference.
