# Scheduler

Scheduling the Pilot to run maintenance is a great way to make sure that your Mac stays healthy. When scheduling the Pilot you follow the same path as when configuring the Pilot to run a task but provide the ability to schedule the task.

- How to configure a task

Make sure that your computer is on and not in the sleep mode at the scheduled time or configure Energy Saver (open System Preferences, click Energy Saver) to startup the computer at that time. If you choose to automatically log out, restart or shut down the computer after the scheduled execution is successfully run, make sure that you do not have any unsaved documents or open applications that could prevent the log out, restart or shut down process. It is possible to view details of the scheduled Pilot's activities by opening Cocktails schedule log file which can be found in the view menu.
