I dont know how you have set this to work on your machine but I have set my gallery installs on mac os x 10.4 systems to autostart by doing the following:
1. setting the "open at login" option for PD from the dock 2. setting the start up path in "start up flags" box within preferences>startup menu I havent encountered the problem that you have but I dont shutdown my machines at night. Is there some reason you need to? Here are two simple ways I have used that might work instead ( I dont know what you are running with PD ( gem, etc...) but they could be modified to suit: 1. use a 24 hour clock patch ( really just a resetting counter and is attached) that turns the DSP ( or whatever is appropriate ) on/off or closes and opens the other patch at certain times instead of restarting entire computer 2. use an arduino and a light sensor to turn off the DSP when the lights are shut off at night On 9/23/07, Stuart Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All > > I have a patch running an installation on a Mac laptop running 10.4.9.
