Just as a note, cronnix requires the computer to be both on and awake, so plan event times accordingly. I don't know if Apple has a way to schedule the computer to wake up but my current work around is just to turn off energy saver and run a black screen saver. Not the most green method but it allows me to use my computer as an alarm clock which is important to me.

Instead of running a screensaver on black, just set your energy saver so that the computer never sleeps, but the display sleeps after a certain time and the HD sleeps "when possible".

It accomplishes the same thing, but if you set the screesaver to start after 5 mn and the screen to go to sleep after 1 hour, you can still enjoy fracture while taking a phone call. Also, by putting the HD to sleep when possible, you are saving a little more energy.
