Does anyone have a similar workflow for OS X? I am struggling with this problem right now for an installation I've helped with.(
OSX seems very tolerant of just turning the power off, at least my laptop has a faulty connector to the battery and has lost power and crashed many times without problems rebooting, and a few installations I've got running do get turned off from time to time accidentally without problems rebooting. Settings are:
1/ make sure your file system is journalled (it is by default) - use Disk Utility 2/ set 'Restart automatically after power failure' in SystemPreferences:EnergySaver:Options 3/ set a schedule for automatic sleeps etc in SystemPreferences:EnergySaver:Schedule 4/ set system to login to YourUser automatically in SystemPreferences:Accounts:LoginOptions 5/ set Pd to start or a script to run on login in SystemPreferences:Accounts:YourUser:LoginItems
to 5: chris pointed it out that it's much easier with the login items.
a museum had one insallation of mine and just pulled the plug every
evening. i asked them to rethink the strategy.
here is a patch which makes Gem fullscreen on startup.
BEWARE: you must have exposé corners enabled otherwhise there is no
way out on osx.
i do work with applescripts in some cases. if the computer is off at
nights i run the periodic scripts at at startup.
there is one installation running on a macmini since 2 years now
without a single failure, switching the computer on and off every day.
here an example how to switch the computer off/to sleep from pd
