Hi Ryan,
It's sort of non intuitive if you're using VO. If you're using VO:
1. Go to Energy Saver pane in System Preferences.
2. Navigate to the text label "Put the computer to sleep when it is
inactive for:"
3. Navigate (2 VO key presses) to the slider. You'll hear the percent
adjustment for the slider.
4. Interact with the horizontal slider and set to 100.0%. The 100%
setting is "Never" as in: Never put the computer to sleep.
NOTE: Text labels for the horizontal slider are "after" the slider
and can be reviewed with VO...but there's really no way with VO to
know which text label corresponds to which percent setting on the
slider. Usability issue that needs to be thought through.
Hope the info helps!

Hello. I'm trying to use my Mac Mini as an alarm by using Cron.
The problem is that after long periods of time, the computer goes
into sleep mode and the crontab doesn't get executed. I looked in
system preferences in Energy saver and I didn't see anything about
stopping the computer from going into sleep mode. Is there
anywhere in system preferences to go to stop this behavior?
Thanks.
Ryan
