Re: wake from sleep for chron tasks? (was Mac mini slowing down...)
Well, might be a Tiger only option. For me, when I open the Energy Saver preference pane, there is a Schedule... button in the lower right corner of the window. When you click on it, a little sheet drops from the top of the window and you have 2 checkbox, one to wake or startup the computer the other to shutdown. -Laurent. How long does the Mac have to stay awake to perform all the necessary houe keeping tasks? Is 30 minutes sufficent on a relatively slow system (for Tiger) to get the jobs done?

wake from sleep for chron tasks? (was Mac mini slowing down...)
Except that it won't. Unless you schedule it specifically in Energy Saver, the Mac won't wake up when it's sleeping... Is this option particular to OS 10.4? I went into the energy saver panel in 10.3 and the three wake options I have are: wake when modem rings wake for ethernet network administrator access allow power button to sleep computer Might it be the second option? Is there somewhere else I could look? I was thinking of scheduling the computer to start up at 2:55 AM (or just before the automatic maintenance tasks are scheduled) but I don't know if a scheduled start up will wake a sleeping computer. I do have Onyx and have run it a few times, maybe I need to look at having it run itself automatically. Thanks Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
