Thanks for all the great answers. So I found sleep/shut down scheduler in the Energy Saver menu of OSX System Preferences. If need be I should be able to just use that.
However if I want to kill Pd first is [realtime] the best object to use for a scheduled event (in this case quitting Pd) like this? I think I will stick with just powering down at the end of the night I will start it up manually, too many things could fail if I try and automate running the patch, although Automator looks possibly useful too.
