cron help

Though editing your crontabs by opening them directly is possible, you should really use the crontab command line program to edit them.

from a terminal window type:

crontab -e

It will pop open your crontab file with the vi editor. Add your entry in the format described above, and press :wq to quit.

I still prefer my script to opening a specified file; this way, I wake up to a different song every time I run it. But that's just me...

alternative

also you could get iTunes Clock off of versiontracker too. it's got a GUI and it's free! has a fature to set volume to max. the only problems are that it works off of 24 hr time, it'll only unpause a selected song, and it won't wake from sleep.

Use OS 9 to set the wake from sleep

It won't work from Classic but if you boot OS 9 you can set the wake up time in the energy saver control panel. Once it is set it works even if you've changed to OS X. I suspect sleep and wake are hardware based (open firmware?) making them independent of the OS.

at the moment auto wakeup and startup are not implemented in 10.1 This is a system issue that will hopefully be fixed in 10.2

Untill then there is not util that has the ability to wake up your mac (or start it up) like in OS 9.

Hopefully not long to go before apple releases 10.2!

I realise how old this thread is, but I'd someone can probably still help me out. I used the script tieng provided, and every time I run the script classic tries to open to open up OS 9 iTunes. How can I get it to open OS X iTunes, it seems that no one else had any problems, so hopefully it is easily overcome. Any help would be appreciated.

shouldn't you delete the OS9 version of iTunes ?
