<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">- You kill PD from inside at a chosen time (pd quit;)<br>
- You shutdown your mac at that time, after having killed PD, and restart your mac at a given time (OSX preferences)<br>
- 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)<br>
this will take a little time to adjust, but works fine !<br>
