shut down the computer manually
hello.
I am doing a sound installation with a Mac-Mini. [MACOSX 10.5.]
and I like to shut down the computer every evening manually --
but without keyboard and without monitor!
is there a smooth way ?
thanks and greetings,
bd
It's fine to just turn of the power. If you select in the Energy Saver pref panel to restart after a power failure and put your patch or standalone in the startup items, everything starts up automatically after turning on power in the morning.

... Unless your patch happens to write to the disk a lot, in which case killing power could end badly.
You should be able to use the [shell] object (check maxobjects.com) to hook a button up to a 'shutdown' script, though.
