My cable modem was down for the weekend and there might be a USB
problem with 10.3.3 ( I am getting a steady stream of USB errors
and syslog is growing by about 200~300K per day).
I was getting tired of having cron miss its cleanup tasks due to
being asleep.
DailyWakeup is a command line tool that uses the Power Manager to
queue (for me) a "wake" power event prior to each time cron is
supposed to run its clean up tasks. I have cron re-execute the
program each day...hopefully no more missed cron jobs.
ShowPMQueue is a cocoa program that displays the Power Managers
event queue and allows a suitably privileged user to add and
delete power manager events ie you can schedule shutdowns/powerons
wake or sleep events. I don't understand the authentication/security
mechanisms so I have set the actual executable to be suid root. It
would be nice if some kind soul could show me how to "get root" at
the appropriate times...

Feedback/suggestions welcome.
