[PD] running Pd with a timer for an installation?

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
