A few weeks ago I explained how you can shut down your Mac (or perform any task) using a text message. Sadly you cannot send commands to a powered off machine to turn it on so today's post will show you how to do the next best thing.
If you're like me you don't enjoy waiting for your computer to boot up. So what I like to do is have a task that will automatically turn my Mac on for me at a certain time. Since I usually start working at around 8:30 in the morning I like to have my Mac power on at 8:15 (just in case I'm feeling the urge to start work early).
To do this simply open up Terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal)
Then type in pmset repeat wakeorpoweron MTWRF 08:15:00
This will either wake your computer from the sleep state or power it on at 8:15 am Monday-Friday.
M = Monday
T = Tuesday
W = Wednesday
R = Thursday
F = Friday
S = Saturday
U = Sunday
Now if you want to cancel you're scheduled start up just simply type in pmset repeat cancel.
