Perform tasks on sleep with AppleScript
Authored by: dogboy on Jan 28, '05 06:59:02PM

Yeah, I leave mine on to pick up Podcasts overnight. My new mail sound is a dog bark, and it's at the other end of the house so it's not too audible.
What about hitting the mute key on your keyboard before going to the login screen?

Perform tasks on sleep with AppleScript
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Jan 28, '05 08:09:50PM

Applescript is automatic, no remembrin' required.
I really didn't want to explain my whole life, but here's the next part.
Ok, sometimes I work late, hence the idle script.
Sometimes I might finish early, but I'm still sorta on call to answer the phone and emails. Now, I'm somewhere else in the house and I hear my Mac cry out that it's received an email. All I have to do is look at my mobile screen thanks to Saling Clicker and I can see who the email was from and sometimes even read it. If it's important I can go and check it out.
At the end of the day If I haven't bothered going back to the computer it'll quit Mail for me overnight. And if I'm working late it won't.

Now quit with the pick pick picking. It works for me. ;-)

So, I said ... well, I can't actually remember exactly what I said. But it was one of the most enormously cruel and frighteningly witty put downs ever.
