If the timing is predictable, you could configure "cron" to do
this for you. Otherwise, you could build it into the start-up
and shut-down procedure. That, however, might allow you to miss
an unauthorised shut-down during the day. In that case, you might
want to issue the disable command only if the shut-down occurs
during a predefined period.

Cheers, Phil.
