The Leopard folks have broken so many fundamental things in the OS that I hesitate to make any statements about how Leopard will do anything. Let me just say that the scheduler that Apple introduced about a year ago solved many thorny problems by catching up on missed events when the Mac awoke or was turned on. This was a very good solution. Current management appears averse to reading documentation, so who knows what they will make Leopard do.
My best advice is to simply schedule an event 5 minutes into the future and turn Mac off. Turn Mac back on in 6 minutes. Let us know what happens. >I had earlier asked Mr. Piwowar about how OS X 10.5 handles the UNIX >maintenance routines.
