I have always avoided writing Java programs than run all the time and
sporadically wake up to do something, e.g. test if a website is up,
check for mail, do a backup ...
I figured the overhead would be unacceptable. Though I never tested
it. Has anyone ever measured just how much of a drain such a sleeping
program puts on resources?
