ResurrXtion is a pretty light software that doesn’t take up as much storage space than most software in the section Utilities. It’s a very popular software in Belgium.

ResurrXtion is a small application that takes the place of the feature in MacOS 9 that allowed you to tell your Mac when to boot from sleep or a complete shutdown. I used to like having my Mac awake and ready when I got home every day from work, and I really miss this under MacOS X.

ResurrXtion can easily turn your Mac into an alarm clock, but to do so presents a potentical security risk. You could tell your Mac to auto-login, but you then open up your Mac to anyone who wants access to it if it turns on when you’re not around. That choice is up to you.

In the account you want to auto-login to, place whatever you want to start after auto-login in the “Login Items” Preference in System Preferences. The next time that account logs in, that item (or items) will start. Check the internet for Applescripts that do things such as fire up iTunes at full volume playing a particular playlist or song.
