The settings have always worked the way *I* expected them to so I never had much reason to look at exactly how the Energy Saver System Preference panel phrases things but ... > For example, "Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for 2 > minutes", this setting has no trouble be honored, e-rage still checks my > email every 2 minutes, and the computer will go black on the screen in 2 > minutes as long as the mouse or keyboard are not used. It really should say "Put the display to sleep when the mouse and keyboard is inactive for 2 minutes" > This is not true for "computer sleep", which is where my confusion comes in. On the other hand, for computer sleep, any CPU "user" activity resets the timer. Since I run various servers including a mail server, I have mine set to "never" but that does make me wonder if all these servers, started at system startup, not by user login, count as activity to prevent the computer from going to sleep (with Unix under the hood, there's plenty of other OS system activity that clearly does not prevent sleep as demonstrated on my iBook and other desktop Mac which is now my test system - another thing to test at some point). -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
