I have to admit, rather sheepishly, that the ADSM Mac Scheduler does take
up 1 meg just to run (actually, if your doing incrementals, you can get by
with an 800K partition).  Currently there is no workaround, short of
scheduling when the scheduler will kick off (yuk).  You could use QuicKeys
to start up the scheduler at 5:00pm everyday, and maybe shutdown the Mac
later that night.


As the Mac developer, I understand this is a real problem, and I am looking
into various solutions.  I didn't have time to make it a Control Panel
for the initial release, however that's one possible solution.  I also
realize the requirement for a shutdown capability.

I am also very interested in any feedback on the client(s), ways to
improve them, new function needed, positive or negative.  The developers
are very interested in hearing what you think is important to the product.
