Hi Andy,
I wrote this short shell script to this on my organ and it's a great feature. When you want to close down, first close HW; then run the shell script which will close down the OS and then turn off the power. The Mac sees that as a power fail so when you re-apply the power it will boot automatically. I use a wireless mains switch with this so I can get the organ on to play with a small remote wand.
do shell script "shutdown -u -h now" user name "Your Mac user name" password "Your password" with administrator privileges
I keep the icon for this script on the desktop screen so I can double click it to run.
I hope this works for you.
Geoff
