Apple did. :-) The scripts will run without any action whatsoever if the machine is on. Why are they scheduled at those weird times? I assume because they were thought to be the best times to find the computer not being used (I seem to recall that the scripts won't run if the computer is being used).
I don't know much about those scripts, but my computer is *never* on during the night, but otherwise remains unused very often. It's quite a strange idea to hardwire the scripts to run at night, instead of just detecting when the computer is not being used for a while.
From another post,
If those scripts were that important, don't you think that Apple would have
put something to run them or accomplish what they do on a regular basis?
I'm not sure if repairing permissions is automatic now, but it seemed a big problem a year or more ago, and people were advised to run it manually.
