Thanks for all the great answers.
So I found sleep/shut down scheduler in the Energy Saver menu of OSX System Preferences. If need be I should be able to just use that.
However if I want to kill Pd first is [realtime] the best object to use for a scheduled event (in this case quitting Pd) like this?
I think I will stick with just powering down at the end of the night I will start it up manually, too many things could fail if I try and automate running the patch, although Automator looks possibly useful too.
Thanks again

- You kill PD from inside at a chosen time (pd quit;)
- You shutdown your mac at that time, after having killed PD, and restart
your mac at a given time (OSX preferences)
- You launch an application at restart of your mac (OSX Preferences /
accounts, this application is either compiled with applescript or with automator and does what you want, in this case run your patch, I guess) this will take a little time to adjust, but works fine ! JMA

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
