Using SuperDuper on MacBook

An added test, as I noted, would be after doing the above THEN plug in the monitor (for the first time since boot) and see how the machine behaves.

ok, i didn't think it would make any difference, but to be thorough i did the test as you asked... shutdown MBP, disconnected DVI, restart, etc... and yes the scheduler wakes the machine up with the lid fully closed...

i didn't do the the plug in the monitor bit, as i don't understand what that would add to anything, since the most common method of waking a MB/MBP (and at least later PowerBooks) with the lid closed is with a USB or Bluetooth mouse or keyboard... in fact, rather annoyingly, unplugging any USB device with the lid closed will wake the machine, which is usually what has happened when i accidentally end up with my machine running in clamshell mode...

although this is getting a bit ridiculous, i believe that a PowerBook G4 will work in the same way... have you tried the above test yourself? btw, it seems that you have to set the scheduler to a time greater than one full minute in advance of when the machine actually sleeps for this to work...
