No way to schedule startup or shutdown macOS Ventura System Settings

In it's infinite wisdom Apple has decided to remove a valuable feature that has been part of Mac Os System Preferences since the beginning of time.

I tried the terminal commands, but they only seem to accept the last command given. When I check the schedule, Terminal only shows me the results from the last given command.

Apple will probably follow the script, and re-introduce the feature like it is something new, somewhere down the line.

Why, oh Why?

If you want both a wake and shutdown schedule, you need to put them all in one command.

It is ridiculous that Apple decided to remove such a useful function and force us to use the unfriendly command line structure in terminal. I used the scheduling feature all the time in previous versions went to change the it in Ventura and wasted a lot of time searching only to discover it has been removed.

Why was this done and can we have it back please?

Has anyone written a nice little app that is user friendly to automate the task for those of us who don't wish to programme?
