Back in the days of MacOS 7.6, there used to be a control panel called CPU Energy Saver.
It allowed you to select "Shut Down Instead of Sleep", so the Mac would actually turn itself off after a period of idleness. This caused some frustration because if you installed the 7.6.1 update, your machine could shut itself off partway through if you hadn't adjusted the default idle time. Much hilarity ensued.
It's long gone, but I have Macs on three different levels of the house, some used for ten minutes a week and then abandoned, and I would love to have them set up to quietly shut down all by themselves, rather than go to sleep.
There are apps that do this that cost between $10 and $50, which seems steep for such a one trick pony. There should be a simple script/daemon that can accomplish this, but I haven't found one. Has anybody done this or found it on the InterWebs?
