Shutdown script for cron

Can somebody write me a simple script that can be used by cron.hourly
I would like it to check the time and if it's between 22 and 9, then it would send shutdown command.
Thanks in advance.

Or you could use the normal cron and no scripts:
in root type "crontab -e"
then add the lines:
0 0-9 * * * halt
0 22-23 * * * halt
