HI all ! Nice thread, no doubt. Will read more later... My concern is about creating a simple way so that anyone that is allowed can easily turn on and off and installation. I mean the whole power, not just the sound or video. Of course, I am more into lasting installations too. ;)
For a window manager. I benchmarked a bit, and I found that Icewm is faster than Fluxbox and some other similar (blackbox and madwm, I think). It looks like Win98, though... For this time, I want no X11 at all, though.

the sleep script works nicely, but the logoff one fails - "shut down" and "sleep" are valid for Finder in an Applescript, but "log out" isn't.
first i think you need to activate UI-Scripting. http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/01.html
you'll have in your "System events" applescript library a "power suite" folder with log out
found them - they are under "System Events" but not "Finder"
- so the proper Applescript syntax is:
tell application "System Events" log out end tell
now the script works properly, plus using
[open /Users/simon/sleep.app( | [ggee/shell]
works - Pd quits first, then the system sleeps or logs out or whatever next.
The "pd quit unexpectedly" error message still gets displayed, it seems to be a [shell] problem - I seem to remember a thread about that a year or so ago - I'll search for it, but it doesn't matter if I just want to log out or shut down
- thanks for that, my next installations will be cleaner!
Do you know a way (in OSX) to create Logout Items similar to Login Items in the Accounts Preferences?
to set up timed events I've used CronniX from http:// www.abstracture.de/cronnix (easy + free GUI to create crontabs => schedule events eg the Applescripts above)
