Using Power Manager's scheduling capabilities you can easily control when
your Macintosh automatically starts up, shuts down, wakes up and sleeps.
The Schedulers are fully AppleScriptable and can even be expanded via
AppleScript. The following snippet shuts down the Macintosh for an hour:
property kOneMinute : 60 -- one minute in seconds
property kOneHour : 60 * kOneMinute -- one hour in seconds
tell application "Power Manager Extension"
-- log this script's actions to the time stamped log file
log "Shutting down for an hour."
-- shut down in one minutes time
enqueue shut down at (current date) + kOneMinute
-- start up in an hour's time
enqueue start up at (current date) + kOneHour + kOneMinute
end tell

Power Manager's Launcher can automatically run your AppleScripts, launch
your applications and open your documents at any time or on a specific
trigger. Triggers include:
- Start up
- Shut down
- Specific date and time
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Wake up
- System sleep
- User log in
- User log out
Triggers can be further refined with optional conditions and modifiers.
Conditions include: specific time periods, days, months, user name,
frequency and idle time.
Power Manager fully supports AppleScript. 30 sample AppleScripts
demonstrate the extensive dictionary provided.
Scripts can now be attached directly to the Launcher9s actions. Using
attached scripts you can add your own conditions and respond directly to
events such as triggers.

Power Manager supports multiple and remote configurations. Detailed logging
and password protected user modes ensure your settings remain constant even
in multiple user environments. Control Strip, Location Manager and Keychain
integration and support make sure Power Manager blends seamlessly into your
Macintosh.
