In the Energy Saver System Pref, a slider exists labeled:
Put the display(s) to sleep when the computer is inactive for:
and I can set this to "Never".
However, when I click on the Schedule... button, I can click the checkboxes for two items:
"Start or wake" and "Sleep"
and set them to "Every Day" and enter the times of my choice.
That means I can make the machine wake up every day at say 7:55 AM even though the slider above is set to "Never".
Actually, this is ideal because I don't want the iMacs to go to sleep during the day but I do want them to go to sleep all evening and all night.
What will work? Thanks a bunch.

Se the slider to "Never". Set "Start up or wake" to Every Day at 7:55 am. Set "Sleep" to Every Day at 5:00 PM.
This will keep your computer from going to sleep between 7:55 am and 5 pm, and will put it to sleep at 5 pm. It will not wake up until 7:55 the next morning unless you wake it up yourself. But if you do wake it up yourself, it will stay awake until 5 pm the next day unless you put it to sleep yourself.
