However, with the latest OS release, this functionality has been removed by Apple! At this point, one shouldn’t even be surprised with the decisions taken by the Cupertino giant in this OS build because this isn’t the first time and wouldn’t be the last one either. Concerns regarding broken SSH, external display not working, and removal of Network Location have been raised from the first beta but have fallen on deaf ears. And now, this Schedule Shutdown missing from macOS Ventura isn’t doing any great favors either. Initially, it was attributed as a bug, but it has since been confirmed that it is an intended removal from Apple. So how can we now use this feature? Well, your only course of action now is to execute specific commands in the Terminal Window to get this job done. So without further ado, let’s check out how this could be carried out.

Fix Schedule Shutdown missing in macOS Ventura

That’s it. These were the steps to fix the issue of Schedule Shutdown missing from macOS Ventura. It really doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to remove the perfectly working GUI method and instead force the users to opt for the technical Terminal approach, but unfortunately, that is the only way forward and we will now have to get used to it, sooner than later.

All Power Schedule Commands for Ventura

NAME

     pmset – manipulate power management settings

SYNOPSIS

     pmset [-a | -b | -c | -u] [setting value] […]      pmset -u [haltlevel percent] [haltafter minutes] [haltremain minutes]      pmset -g [option]      pmset schedule [cancel | cancelall] type date+time [owner]      pmset repeat cancel      pmset repeat type weekdays time      pmset relative [wake | poweron] seconds      pmset [touch | sleepnow | displaysleepnow | boot]

DESCRIPTION

     pmset manages power management settings such as idle sleep timing, wake      on administrative access, automatic restart on power loss, etc.      Note that processes may dynamically override these power management      settings by using I/O Kit power assertions.  Whenever processes override      any system power settings, pmset will list those processes and their      power assertions in -g and -g assertions. See caffeinate(8).

SETTING

     pmset can modify the values of any of the power management settings      defined below. You may specify one or more setting & value pairs on the      command-line invocation of pmset.  The -a, -b, -c, -u flags determine      whether the settings apply to battery ( -b ), charger (wall power) ( -c      ), UPS ( -u ) or all ( -a ).      Use a minutes argument of 0 to set the idle time to never for sleep      disksleep and displaysleep      pmset must be run as root in order to modify any settings.

SETTINGS

     displaysleep – display sleep timer; replaces ‘dim’ argument in 10.4      (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)      disksleep – disk spindown timer; replaces ‘spindown’ argument in 10.4      (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)      sleep – system sleep timer (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)      womp – wake on ethernet magic packet (value = 0/1). Same as “Wake for      network access” in System Settings.      ring – wake on modem ring (value = 0/1)      powernap – enable/disable Power Nap on supported machines (value = 0/1)      proximitywake – On supported systems, this option controls system wake      from sleep based on proximity of devices using same iCloud id. (value =      0/1)      autorestart – automatic restart on power loss (value = 0/1)      lidwake – wake the machine when the laptop lid (or clamshell) is opened      (value = 0/1)      acwake – wake the machine when power source (AC/battery) is changed      (value = 0/1)      lessbright – slightly turn down display brightness when switching to this      power source (value = 0/1)      halfdim – display sleep will use an intermediate half-brightness state      between full brightness and fully off  (value = 0/1)      sms – use Sudden Motion Sensor to park disk heads on sudden changes in G      force (value = 0/1)      hibernatemode – change hibernation mode. Please use caution. (value =      integer)      hibernatefile – change hibernation image file location. Image may only be      located on the root volume. Please use caution. (value = path)      ttyskeepawake – prevent idle system sleep when any tty (e.g. remote login      session) is ‘active’. A tty is ‘inactive’ only when its idle time exceeds      the system sleep timer. (value = 0/1)      networkoversleep – this setting affects how OS X networking presents      shared network services during system sleep. This setting is not used by      all platforms; changing its value is unsupported.      destroyfvkeyonstandby – Destroy File Vault Key when going to standby      mode. By default File vault keys are retained even when system goes to      standby. If the keys are destroyed, user will be prompted to enter the      password while coming out of standby mode.(value: 1 – Destroy, 0 –      Retain)

GETTING

Caller may provide one or      more I/O Kit class names (separated by spaces). If no classes are      provided, it will log the IOPower plane’s root registry entry. Caller may      specify a polling interval, in seconds with -i ;      otherwise it defaults to 5 seconds.      -g stats Prints the counts for number sleeps and wakes system has gone      thru since boot.      -g systemstate Prints the current power state of the system and available      capabilites.      -g everything Prints output from every argument under the GETTING header.      This is useful for quickly collecting all the output that pmset provides.      Available in 10.8.

SAFE SLEEP ARGUMENTS

     hibernatemode supports values of 0, 3, or 25. Whether or not a      hibernation image gets written is also dependent on the values of standby      and autopoweroff      For example, on desktops that support standby a hibernation image will be      written after the specified standbydelay time. To disable hibernation      images completely, ensure hibernatemode standby and autopoweroff are all      set to 0.      hibernatemode = 0 by default on desktops. The system will not back memory      up to persistent storage. The system must wake from the contents of      memory; the system will lose context on power loss. This is,      historically, plain old sleep.      hibernatemode = 3 by default on portables. The system will store a copy      of memory to persistent storage (the disk), and will power memory during      sleep. The system will wake from memory, unless a power loss forces it to      restore from hibernate image.      hibernatemode = 25 is only settable via pmset. The system will store a      copy of memory to persistent storage (the disk), and will remove power to      memory. The system will restore from disk image. If you want      “hibernation” – slower sleeps, slower wakes, and better battery life, you      should use this setting.      Please note that hibernatefile may only point to a file located on the      root volume.

STANDBY ARGUMENTS

     standby causes kernel power management to automatically hibernate a      machine after it has slept for a specified time period. This saves power      while asleep. This setting defaults to ON for supported hardware. The      setting standby will be visible in pmset -g if the feature is supported      on this machine.      standbydelayhigh and standbydelaylow specify the delay, in seconds,      before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering off memory for      Standby.  standbydelayhigh is used when the remaining battery capacity is      above highstandbythreshold , and standbydelaylow is used when the      remaining battery capacity is below highstandbythreshold.      highstandbythreshold has a default value of 50 percent.      autopoweroff is enabled by default on supported platforms as an      implementation of Lot 6 to the European Energy-related Products      Directive. After sleeping for seconds, the system      will write a hibernation image and go into a lower power chipset sleep.      Wakeups from this state will take longer than wakeups from regular sleep.      autopoweroffdelay specifies the delay, in seconds, before entering      autopoweroff mode.

UPS SPECIFIC ARGUMENTS

     UPS-specific arguments are only valid following the -u option. UPS      settings also have an on/off value. Use a -1 argument instead of percent      or minutes to turn any of these settings off. If multiple halt conditions      are specified, the system will halt on the first condition that occurs in      a low power situation.      haltlevel – when draining UPS battery, battery level at which to trigger      an emergency shutdown (value in %)      haltafter – when draining UPS battery, trigger emergency shutdown after      this long running on UPS power (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)      haltremain – when draining UPS battery, trigger emergency shutdown when      this much time remaining on UPS power is estimated (value in minutes, or      0 to disable)      Note: None of these settings are observed on a system with support for an      internal battery, such as a laptop. UPS emergency shutdown settings are      for desktop and server only.

SCHEDULED EVENT ARGUMENTS

     pmset allows you to schedule system sleep, shutdown, wakeup and/or power      on. “schedule” is for setting up one-time power events, and “repeat” is      for setting up daily/weekly power on and power off events. Note that you      may only have one pair of repeating events scheduled – a “power on” event      and a “power off” event. For sleep cycling applications, pmset can      schedule a “relative” wakeup or poweron to occur in seconds from the end      of system sleep/shutdown, but this event cannot be cancelled and is      inherently imprecise.      type – one of sleep, wake, poweron, shutdown, wakeorpoweron      date/time – “MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss” (in 24 hour format; must be in quotes)      time – HH:mm:ss      weekdays – a subset of MTWRFSU (“M” and “MTWRF” are valid strings)      owner – a string describing the person or program who is scheduling this      one-time power event (optional)

POWER SOURCE ARGUMENTS

     -g with a ‘batt’ or ‘ps’ argument will show the state of all attached      power sources.      -g with a ‘pslog’ or ‘rawlog’ argument is normally used for debugging,      such as isolating a problem with an aging battery.

OTHER ARGUMENTS

     boot – tell the kernel that system boot is complete (normally LoginWindow      does this). May be useful to Darwin users.      touch – PM re-reads existing settings from disk.      noidle – pmset prevents idle sleep by creating a PM assertion to prevent      idle sleep(while running; hit ctrl-c to cancel). This argument is      deprecated in favor of caffeinate(8). Please use caffeinate(8) instead.      sleepnow – causes an immediate system sleep.      restoredefaults – Restores power management settings to their default      values.      displaysleepnow – causes display to go to sleep immediately.      resetdisplayambientparams – resets the ambient light parameters for      certain Apple displays.      dim – deprecated in 10.4 in favor of ‘displaysleep’. ‘dim’ will continue      to work.      spindown – deprecated in 10.4 in favor of ‘disksleep’. ‘spindown’ will      continue to work.

EXAMPLES

     This command sets displaysleep to a 5 minute timer on battery power,      leaving other settings on battery power and other power sources      unperturbed.      pmset -b displaysleep 5      Sets displaysleep to 10, disksleep to 10, system sleep to 30, and turns      on WakeOnMagicPacket for ALL power sources (AC, Battery, and UPS) as      appropriate      pmset -a displaysleep 10 disksleep 10 sleep 30 womp 1      For a system with an attached and supported UPS, this instructs the      system to perform an emergency shutdown when UPS battery drains to below      40%.      pmset -u haltlevel 40      For a system with an attached and supported UPS, this instructs the      system to perform an emergency shutdown when UPS battery drains to below      25%, or when the UPS estimates it has less than 30 minutes remaining      runtime. The system shuts down as soon as either of these conditions is      met.      pmset -u haltlevel 25 haltremain 30      For a system with an attached and supported UPS, this instructs the      system to perform an emergency shutdown after 2 minutes of running on UPS      battery power.      pmset -u haltafter 2      Schedules the system to automatically wake from sleep on July 4, 2016, at      8PM.      pmset schedule wake “07/04/16 20:00:00”      Schedules a repeating shutdown to occur each day, Tuesday through      Saturday, at 11AM.      pmset repeat shutdown TWRFS 11:00:00      Schedules a repeating wake or power on event every tuesday at 12:00 noon,      and a repeating sleep event every night at 8:00 PM.      pmset repeat wakeorpoweron T 12:00:00 sleep MTWRFSU 20:00:00      Cancels all scheduled system sleep, shutdown, wake, and power on events.      pmset repeat cancel      Prints the power management settings in use by the system.      pmset -g      Prints a snapshot of battery/power source state at the moment.      pmset -g batt      If your system suddenly sleeps on battery power with 20-50% of capacity      remaining, leave this command running in a Terminal window. When you see      the problem and later power and wake the computer, you’ll be able to      detect sudden discontinuities (like a jump from 30% to 0%) indicative of      an aging battery.      pmset -g pslog

FILES

     All changes made through pmset are saved in a persistent preferences file      (per-system, not per-user) at      /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist      Scheduled power on/off events are stored separately in      /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist      pmset modifies the same file that System Settings modifies.
