I have set up a Mac for public use. It starts up and shuts down automatically at the beginning and end of the day -- but the shutting down works only if the Mac is being used at the scheduled time.
I like to have it sleep and log off after some time though, because there’s not that many people using it. How to make it shut down according to schedule even if it’s sleeping or logged off? It’s a GigE with 10.4.11 and limited-user accounts in English, German and Italian to accommodate different users; that’s why I let it log off. Any ideas? I have the feeling I’m missing an easy way to do this. An Applescript might work, but I haven’t looked into that yet. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
