My computer restarts (without prompt) every morning at 3 a.m.
I was hoping that it would stop doing this when I upgraded to Leopard, but it continues. I suspect that I may have inadvertently created this by experiementing with (who knows which) software.
Could this be a script? How can I identify possible cuprits in order to stop the problem? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Confirmed... Energy Saver/Schedule is not on, but thanks for reminding me to check it anyways. ;-)

I'm not familiar with Applescript. How do I check if scripts are active? ?:|

Rugby,
I checked the link from your previous post, but it appears to be a scripting client with several scripts (Add, Commit, Delete, Revert, Status, Update. Copy, Move) that don't appear to be related to my issue. What should I be seeing there?
I did as you recommended and launched the Applescript application and checked "show script menu". I'm not sure what you mean by "choose top", but if you mean for me to check what is listed under the script menu, it lists 18 script folders (ranging from Address Book to URLs).

well I find it hard to see that a Applescript is the culprit (basically you should check if you have installed any strange ones):
my first thought that was the Wake up setting (all accounts if more then one created),
a program that needs a regular start up (i.e. timer base) like TV or radio recording etc
a utility program where you have triggered a wake up function (back up etc)
a terminal command, but I suppose you would remember that one
if it is neither of these I am currently at a loss and as far I can tell the only general by pass of the wake up would be a terminal command, not sure which one though yet
