10.4: A simple alarm clock that plays an iTunes playlist
You can also do this with Applescripts.
10.4: A simple alarm clock that plays an iTunes playlist
I've done this, too. I used to use Jon's Commands to assign a hot-key for snooze and for stop, but it quit working under my Intel mac.
Automate with crontab
Rather than restarting your computer at a certain time (I've not had much success with that) you can set up a repeating event from the unix side of you OS X:
Save your automator script as an application, (alarmclock.app) in /Applications Open up terminal from /Applications/Utilities/ type in crontab -e at the command line hit the letter i to get to insert mode type in the following: 30 6 * * * open /Applications/alarmclock.app to wake up at 6:30am hit esc Type in ZZ (two capital Z's) type in exit and you're done! Alternately you can get Cronnix which has a neat OS X interface without having to type in all those commands, and it's a great way to automate timed events. You can also google crontab tutorial and read up on this great little app running on your Apple. It might be handy to learn the basics of Vi which is the default text editer that crontab uses. Learning these things will take you to the next level of geekiness! ---

Actually, I use a recurring iCal event to schedule my AppleScript. That way I can change the schedule on days I need to get up early, or delete the alarm on days I can actually sleep in.
