Are you sure? I don't see such a box on my iMac DV 400. There's a "Wake for network administrative access".

I can't get the cron jobs to run unless the computer is still on.

Different Macs have different hardware when it comes to Energy Saver pref pane.

My G4 DP 450 has the option mentioned available. Sure you looked under the "options" tab of the pref pane? A slot loading iMac G3/400 DV is a kissing cousin to my old (Gig) G4 DP.
