If something causes the system to not sleep because it is logging to the console, it sounds like Apple needs to fix the meaning of sleep to be "unless the computer is doing something".

That said, we need to know more information. What's logging every minute from GHA that they say is causing this?

Using a MacBook Pro with 10.6.2. I have been trying to determine since I went to 10.6 why my laptop would not go on sleep by itself after idling. I even filed a bug with Apple about this.

After they asked me to perform a few commands and give them the result, they came back asking me to turn off GrowlHelperApp because they said "Your logs show that GrowlHelperApp is logging at least once a minute. Could you try quitting that app and seeing if the problem will reproduce? Please attach an new ASP if it does."

After I did that, I did perform about a dozen tests. I would let the computer idle on battery with Growl stopped and then one test while Growl running. Indeed, it seems that Growl is the culprit because out of 12 tests, all the tests I did except one did succeed in the laptop going to sleep within the 20 minutes I had set.

So, I am wondering if others do see this and if the developers are aware of something that might be logging something in the console and, as such, constantly delays the system sleep.
