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
[quit( | [s pd]
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.
these are standard: consult your OS-manual on how to do timed shut-downs (and restarts) of the system.
powering down the system will usually close all running applications, so there shouldn't be a need to shutdown Pd separately (but there can be other reasons why you still would want to do that).
i don't know why this is not a "standard" component of Pd. maybe it requires priviliges that are usually not available to the average installment of Pd? why?
