Creating a Nightly Scheduled shutdown
How do I create a Nightly Scheduled shutdown for my Mac mini?
I haven't been able to find this in the month I've had it.
Thanks.
Mac mini, macOS 13.2

Greetings!
Check your System Settings/Preferences, there should be Power chapter. Click on it and look after Schedule, there're the settings you're looking for.

That is no longer available in Ventura.
Interesting thing happened when I implement this Terminal suggestion.
My mouse wouldn't work. When I shut my computer down and then turned it back on again, the mouse worked. I'm curious why that might be?
Any ideas?
Is there no other way to do it @Picas? I'm permanently allergic to Terminal.
It stems from "tidying up" DOS folders on my first computer 30 years ago. :E
Any thing else I can do?
Thanks.
I believe this is what I've been using on my 2015 Mac for all these years. There was no "Power" or "Schedule" option for shutting it down at the end of every day.

Unless someone comes up with a third-party solution there is no other way.
Ok no worries. I might just try to white knuckle my anxieties and give Terminal ago - allergies and all. ;) Thanks.
Well I've given it a red hot go. So let's see how things transpire. Thanks again. :)
You're welcome. I'm sure it's fine. 😎
I couldn't say.
Did the Terminal command work?
