Shutdown linux server automatically at certain time

I use a headless server and I've been using tmux to ssh into the machine, run the server, and then detach from tmux so I can keep it running in the background. I've set it up so that tmux automatically starts up on the server and the tmod server automatically starts up in that tmux session. Is there a way to shutdown the server automatically at certain times of the day, such as 11:00 PM?

iirc no Probably only way is to send exit into its console

Timing command? crontab

yeah, but the problem is sending the exit into the console do you think I could use something like tmux's send-keys? my crontab is @reboot tmux

probably

which activates a .tmux.conf file

new-session -d -s TMOD
set -g status off
new-window ~/tmod_server/start-tModLoaderServer.sh

new-session -d -s TMOD
set -g status off
new-window ~/tmod_server/start-tModLoaderServer.sh

yeah tmux send-keys works, I just couldn't figure out how to make it press enter

tmux send-keys -t TMOD say\ 'hello' Enter
