Computer must be awake for scheduled shut down to occur in Mac OS X

In Mac OS X v10.3 and later, you can schedule a time for your Mac to automatically shut down by setting a time and interval in the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. However, your computer must be awake at the time that it's scheduled to shut down, and remain awake for at least 10 minutes past the scheduled time, in order for it to shut down on its own. If your computer is sleeping at this time it will continue sleeping instead of shutting down.

2. What is on Your Mind?

If possible, would you consider buying OS X for a non Mac computer?

Title says it all. I am doing a little research for a blog I want to write up on my website about different OS platforms. One thing that I am trying to figure out, is that would it appeal to people to load OS X on their PC, and would they be willing to pay for it? If so, would you even...

scselect

SCSELECT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       SCSELECT(8)

NAME

     scselect -- Select system configuration "location"

SYNOPSIS

     scselect [-n] [new-location-name]

DESCRIPTION

     scselect provides access to the system configuration sets, commonly referred to as "locations".  When invoked with no arguments, scselect
     displays the names and associated identifiers for each defined "location" and indicates which is currently active.  scselect also allows the
     user to select or change the active "location" by specifying its name or identifier.  Changing the "location" causes an immediate system re-
     configuration, unless the -n option is supplied.

     At present, the majority of preferences associated with a "location" relate to the system's network configuration.

     The command line options are as follows:

     -n  Delay changing the system's "location" until the next system boot (or the next time that the system configuration preferences are
	 changed).

     new-location-name
	 If not specified, a list of the available "location" names and associated identifiers will be reported on standard output.  If specified,
	 this argument is matched with the "location" names and identifiers and the matching set is activated.

HISTORY

     The scselect command appeared in Mac OS X Public Beta.
