Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to enable Automatic Startup on my MacBook Pro WITHOUT it being connected to AC power. Every night I have my MacBook charged for the next day when I shut it down, so the battery is at or near 100% every night. The reason that I don't want to connect it to AC power at night is that the power sometimes goes out where I live and I don't want my MacBook to be affected. Is there any Terminal command that I can run to do this?

Frankly I can't see an issue, every time you unplug the magsafe connector you are simulating a power outage from the Mac's perspective, they handle it millions of times daily without issue.
