Sleeping computers DO NOT run the scripts.
So, if I were to set my iMac to never go to sleep, is that putting a burden on the hardware that a sleeping machine is spared? Is it purely an energy saving device?
There is no reason to put an iMac to sleep. Mine supplies various services to other machines in my home and has never slept. The power consumption is a little higher, but most of the power savings are realized if you let the display and disk go to sleep but let the system continue running. With laptops it is a heat issue.
