I want to include in my cron list a nightly command to turn off sound so I will not hear mail client action if I forget to manually turn off sound. What is a good CLI command for turning off and turning on sound?

Yep, you can use applescript from the command line to set the volume to zero with: osascript -e "set volume 0"
