IMPORTANT! There is a bug in Apple's bindings system (which Pause now uses) that means none of the scripts previously bindled with this app will work. Also, do not attempt to run Pause scripts from the iTunes script menu as the two will just sit there waiting for each other to finish!

Works everytime, I go to bed, play music, when I wake up the computer is shut down. Just what it's meant to do.
The coolest thing is how it fades sound out over a period of time you can set so it eases out rather than ending ubrubtly and interrupting sleep.
I also use it with Disk Utility. I'll repair my permissions set Pause and walk away knowing my computer will shut down after it's through repairing.
Great App. AND IT'S FREE.

The close window button is disabled because having started the timer, you cannoot then accidentally close the timer window.

BUT i dont like the fact that it launches iTunes every time it launches.
It can be used for a load of other reasons, not only iTunes, (there is a DVD option included) so why does it launch iTunes???

Possibly a coincidence but I won't be using this again for a while
It seems most unusual that the iMac would not start properly again, even after you had removed the power cable. The sleep function in pause works simply by the applescript command:
Tell app "System Events" to sleep
So it shouldn't cause any problems like you've experienced unless they're Apple's fault. I have had an issue whereby I couldn't persuade the computer to fully wake from sleep (black screen, fans going but no other response, I have an iMac G4), but this was after sleeping the computer using the power button.
Afraid I can't remember how exactly I recovered from that position before, I think I either had to force restart the computer, or perhaps sleeping it and then re-awakening fixed the problem.
Can I ask that you just try testing this a few times more to see if the issue happens again (I suggest you save all your work first!). I reiterate that I can't see how Pause could be causing the problem, but if it is I would dearly like to know so I can look into it more. If not, it sounds like it could be a firmware issue, and in which Apple need to look into it.
Yours Sincerely,
Mike Abdullah.
Keep up the good work.
