[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 342296"] Exactly. If your Mac is never shut down and never sleeps, then the tasks are run. So you have to prevent it from sleeping: the screen can shut down but not the processor activity. For my case, this isn't applicable. I have an iMac G5 and find it runs pretty warm/hot and ecologically speaking, I don't want my computer to run if I am not really using it. That's why I prefer to run the tasks manually with MainMenu or OnyX. It really doesn't take long and is very easy to do. No problem at all for me. [/QUOTE]
