Hi,
I just updated to ventura, and I'm really enjoying eloquence on my mac. I can't find the timer to schedule automatic shutdown, startup, and restart of my mac. I feel like I've been all over system settings, and can't find it. Has anyone come across it? I wanted to edit my restart time, but I can't find the schedule portion. It used to be under energy saver. I'm using a mac mini, m;1 model.

Look under power, I think it's there, has been since I got my mac last year and was running what ever it was 2 years ago.

Go to system settings>energy saver, go to schedule inside the table, uninteract, and vo-right arrow or tab to make your selections.

I did not see energy saver, I'll look again. I didn't see battery, so now I'm very, very confused.

Apparently, in macOS Ventura, Apple has removed the ability to schedule sleep, restart, and shutdown via the GUI. However, it can still be done via the terminal, using the "sudo pset" command. For specific information on how to configure a custom schedule using this command, check out this Apple Support article.

Umm, now why in the heck would apple take away this feature? I need to get over it, but I'm a little stupified by the terminal, especially with writing very specific commands. But at least there's a way to adjust this setting.
