Is the shutdown command capable of shutting the computer down at a
specific time? Know that 'shutdown /s' works but if I try 'shutdown /s /f
/t 01:00' does not. What am I doing wrong?

You do know that some versions of windows come with a program
called shutdown, right? Open a bash shell and do
which shutdown
to see if the reason shutdown is not working as predicted is because
you are in fact running a microsoft, not cygwin supplied shutdown.

Also, try doing updatedb ; locate shutdown | grep man
