Hey guys.

I'm sticking up a little gallery exhibition in a few hours. My Mac is going to be stuck down there hooked up to a monitor until Wednesday. I can have Quicktime boot up automatically (easy peasy like), and with the power schedule I can have it turn on and off when the gallery opens and shuts. It's just getting it to play a video file, on loop too.

... unless... I could have it go to sleep and wake up. instead of shutting down and booting up. I'm sorry :eek: I can't check at the moment, PowerBooks packed up so I'm stuck here.

but! if I can't tell it to sleep at 5pm and wake up at 11am. what else could I do, in the way of CRON scripts? Apple scripts? see I've no idea :)

any help will be appreciated sooo much :)
