In OS 9, in energy saver, we can ask the computer to start up at specific time (every morning example).

How can I make this in OS X? I want to start up a computer every day at 8h00 for the MACNN team but I don't know how!

Thank you!

Cron (or Login Item) your X client(s) to startup on boot, or at regular intervals, whichever is appropriate.

Next, boot into 9 and set the startup time. Also set the Startup Device to your OSX install. Then shut down for the night.

Not sure if this would work, but it's worth a try.
