For more information on how to use it, open the Terminal application and type:<\/p>\n<p>man pmset<\/p>\n<p>An example of pmset would look like this:<\/p>\n<p>pmset repeat shutdown MTWRF 15:00:00<\/p>\n<p>The above command would set a preference that would schedule an automatic shutdown of your Mac at 3:00 PM on Mon-Friday.<\/p>\n<p>If you have Apple Remote Desktop as part of your arsenal of tools, then this is really handy.
