After reading the other posts here are my thoughts. I generally shut
down my machines at night. Like Tee it is a force of habit from way
back, another reason is that with my G3 on OS X it doesn't go to sleep
properly so I don't get the power saving benefits of a sleeping
computer. I also have my Energy Saver panel preferences set to screen
saver after 15 minutes, hard drive sleep whenever possible and
auto-shut off at 12:30 each evening (morning?), usually auto on at 8 AM
during the week, which I change depending whether I'm going to be home
or not. This way I don't have to remember whether I've shut the
computer off or not.
Talking about sleep - this is the same as turning your computer off
with respect to daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts that OS X
runs at pre-scheduled times. You would still need to use something
like MacJanitor to ensure this gets done.
You could also try a program called OnyX which can do many additional
maintenance things that Mac Janitor doesn't. It comes in a 10.4.x
version and a 10.3.x version; pick your flavour. It is freeware and
avaialble at the following link:
