WakeUp Items requires a Performa, Macintosh, Power Macintosh, PowerBook, or compatible computer running System 7 or higher. It will refuse to load at startup on Macs running system software prior to version 7.0.
WakeUp Items also requires a Macintosh that is capable of sleep mode. At the time of this writing, this includes all PowerBooks and PCI-based PowerMacs, and any Macintosh equipped with version 2.0.4 or higher of St. Clair Software’s Sleeper control panel.
To install WakeUp Items:
1) Drop the WakeUp Items control panel on your System folder icon. When asked if you want to put it in the Control Panels folder, answer “OK”.
2) Restart your Macintosh.
3) Choose the applications or files that you want to have automatically opened upon wake up. Put them, or aliases to them, into the WakeUp Items folder inside your System Folder.
Operation
WakeUp Items creates a folder named "WakeUp Items" in your System folder at startup. Simply place files, applications, or aliases in this folder to have them launched when your Mac wakes from sleep. WakeUp Items sends messages to the Finder to open the files, so anything you can double-click in the Finder should work in your WakeUp Items folder.
Note that WakeUp Items will not launch items while a modal dialog box is displayed. It will wait until after you dismiss the dialog box. This allows proper operation of the password dialog on PowerBooks, and greatly reduces the possibility of conflicts between applications.
You can turn WakeUp Items on and off via the WakeUp Items control panel. Online help and registration information are available by clicking the control panel's "About..." button.
