Under windows, a batch file should do the job, check this: http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm#02. I've used one of those to get pd to restart automatically after a crash in an "7/7d 24/24h" installation setup.

Hi All, I'm planning on using Pd for an installation in Melbourne in a couple of weeks. It's running fine, Pduino working, sensors working. I'm just wondering is there is a object (or series) of objects I can use to "power down" the patch, or even kill Pd, at a designated time. The installation will run into the night for a week, I'll be there to start it up each night but not to shut it down. I'm probably running on OSX, windows may be an option. A sleep or shutdown timer for the OS would be very useful too, seems odd these are not standard.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot
