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).
Thanks for correcting my misstatement,
Problem is they made them execute in the wee hours of the morning 
then set the energy saver to sleep most machines  at that time 
(unless you are using it 12 minutes before the script kicks in).
