Brake bleed question

When bleeding power disc/drum brakes, using the have a friend push on the brake pedal method, should the engine be running to make use of the power assist?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't think it matters one way or another I've always bled mine without engine running.

You need to tell your friend to man up, even if it's your girl. ;p
