Why in the name of Bob are you charging, let alone, making this app for a feature that is built into the system? Anyone can access the Energy Saver Preferences and start up, wake, shut down and YES frikkin RESTART their computer.

Defend thy self lest ye be revealed as a No-ware Salesman.

If someone is going to say, " Oh but this crap tells you before it shuts down." Then you are indeed correct. Just set an iCal Alarm to warn you just before it shuts down.

Make things the system doesn't do already in an obvious way.

But don't feel too bad... Just look at the bantha doo doo that's flooding the iTunes App Store. Did Apple announce a build a better flashlight contest?

As far as a can tell 95% of software blows. Guess where this is being lumped?

Step away from the keyboard - 21

Perhaps I'm missing the obvious, but just where is the restart setting under Energy preferences ???

Click on the Schedule button in the Energy Saver preferences. There's a popup that allows you to schedule a Restart.

Step away from the keyboard - Tension Software

Mac Restart has features not inside any system panel preferences. As example in the release 1.3 the 'Web Restart' method was added. It checks a specified web page and restart the mac when a specified keyword is found. Just an example. Download the last release of Mac Restart to see all the features inside!
- Thank You
