Autostart and Auto-shutoff your Mac

Thursday, January 24th, 2008 – running time 01:13
While it's more expensive than a clock radio, your Mac can do a pretty good impersonation of one.

By enabling the auto startup and shutdown your mac and turn itself off and on at time you desire. Perfect if you need to be running before you get to the office and have it turn itself after you leave.

All you need to do is go into system preferences and then the energy saver icon. Select the schedule button at the bottom right. Tick the start/wake up box and select the time you want your machine to wake up. Don't forget to choose whether you want it to startup on weekends, weekdays, everyday or just one day of the week. If you want to turn itself off tick the sleep box. Again select the time and days. Finally choose whether you want it to sleep, turn off or restart.

Note: restart available only in OS X Leopard everyone else gets shutdown or sleep.
