Dids Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hello there, I wasn't completely sure where to post this, so I'm hoping I picked the right thread. Anyhow, I've got OS x 10.4.9 installed on an iBook G3 Clamshell (with firewire) and it runs just fine. I'm not too familiar with Mac-stuff that goes "beyond" OS X, so I was wondering, how would you setup a scheduled boot at a certain time and at a certain date? I'd also need to shutdown at a fixed time & date. I'm also guessing this has something to do with "Open Firmware", since PC's usually have the scheduled bootup in BIOS. I simply want my poor old Mac to start in the morning and shutdown at night, to conserve power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four! Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I discovered it by mistake a while back. I use it at work to download big torrent files. Shut my computer down before I leave. It boots up at 7pm and resumes my torrents then it shuts down at 8am before anyone rocks upto work. Work has a faster internet connection than I do at home. Not to mention my G5 is the only Mac on the entire network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
