Many apologies if this question has been answered already, I tried Googling to no avail.

I want to set my cron to shut down (power off) my proxmox server at 7pm each day.

Will a shutdown also trigger my VM's to shutdown cleanly? Or will is some further configuration needed to make this happen?
 
Depends on the OS of the client. Linux guest have usually no problems and shut down as expected. For Windows guest the Qemu-Agent should do the job. Generally the shutdown cmommand is like pushing the power off button of a hardware (ACPI) computer. Usually the system shuts itsself down after pushing it.
