Looking at the first option, Start up or Wake. Tell your Mac when to turn itself on, or even when to shut down. In either the Battery or Power Adapter panes, it doesn’t matter which, click Schedule. To get started, open Energy Saver Preferences in System Preferences. If you, your partner, or your kids ever do inadvertently shut down or put your Mac to sleep at night or you suffer a temporary power failure, your Mac’s not going to be ready to wake you come morning. I suggest, however, taking a look at what we do here and think about replicating an automated startup procedure on your Mac, even if you never plan on using it. Of course, if you leave your Mac on all the time, or at least overnight, you can skip this part. It’s a pretty simple task to turn a Mac into an alarm clock, and I won’t even need any third-party applications to get the job done.Ī Mac doesn't make a very good alarm clock if it’s turned off when we're asleep. Need to make sure you get up in the morning? Your Mac can help! In this tutorial I'll show you how to use Automator to create a simple alarm clock and I'll briefly explore System Preferences to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.

My windows machines will try to create a folder or file with the same name, but will claim they don’t have permission to do so, or they will say the folder/file already exists when it in fact it does not exist.It's easy to get just about anything done on your Mac with Automator. I have mac and windows clients attached to the shared volume “CONVERT”. Running the above command on my shared storage works, but produces an odd permission issue. You risk deleting unwanted files, too if care is not taken. You want to remove multiple files such as ‘*.jpg’ or ‘*.sh’ with one command find. The nixCraft or author is not responsible for data loss. Do not use the rm command as the root user. Before removing any files, ensure you have a backup of all critical files.

WARNING! These examples may crash your computer and delete all files if executed inappropriately.
