I read occasional newsgroup messages about various automatic system

my iBook laptop will supposedly do, during the night, or once a week, or

So, what do I need to do to let this happen, while staying out of the
way, and not getting involved any more than I absolutely have to?
In particular, I normally put my iBook G4 to sleep overnight, and
occasionally shut it down for several days. Does putting the machine to
sleep overnight block normal system maintenance tasks? Do I need to
leave it running (but with screen brightness turned down)? Any other
related advice?

My experience with Panther was that, when the system was asleep,
no chron jobs would be performed. Hopefully this has been corrected,
but then I wouldn't expect that anything could happen during spin-down
sleep. Surely, if you leave the system powered up, it will perform all
its routine maintenance.
Happy computing,
Eric
