Can a crontab entry be devised so that smgr will shut down
a 7300?

My attempts to put /etc/shutdown in chrontab are failing probably
because the messages about the phone line shutdown and parking the
disc drive heads aren't getting a response... the messages themselves
are sent to /usr/adm/cronlog - window and all.  A couple of extra "%"
delimiters did not help (placed in the crontab entry).

Advice solicited.
