Hi All,<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div></blockquote><div><br>What I sometimes do is (using a desktop computer):<br>Set the computer's BIOS power setting to 'always on' so that the computer starts up as soon as it gets power.<br>Then set up the necessary startup scripts to start your patch automatically when the computer is switched on.<br>
Use a simple household timer to switch the power of the computer on and off.<br>(this may be a bad idea when there is a risk that your patch is writing to disk heavily while the computer gets switched off...<br>I never used this with patches that need to write to disk)<br>
