In theory, it's possible to send a remote AppleScript event through the 
network, and you could tell the application to do what you wanted it to 
do, or direct it by scripting the User Interface. I say "in theory," 
because I set one up to be able to put my iMac (in the office 
downstairs) to sleep from my iBook, but it only seemed to work some of 
the time. (I haven't had a chance to go in and work on it again.)

You might set the iBook to go to sleep at a specific time using Energy 
Saver -- would that do the trick?
