Hello again, My sleeping monitor (at home) is still waking up throughout the day and night, but I do have a new piece of information. I was sitting at my desk 2 mornings ago, the monitor was asleep, and suddenly it woke up. I looked at the Console logs and found the following message:
5/1/12 8:21:40 AM authexec[6281] executing /usr/bin/pmset I then searched for "pmset" and found many other instances of this message and they coincided with times that my wife wrote down, whenever she was in the room and noticed my monitor wake up. I googled "pmset" and found that it is used to adjust power management settings. The error message does not look very informative, at least not to me. It appears that my Mac Pro (running Snow Leopard) keeps executing a pmset command, which apparently wakes up my monitor, but I do not know how to stop or change this command to prevent my monitor from waking up. Should a pmset command normally be executed many times per day? How do I find out what it is doing? If it is not doing anything useful, how do I stop it or modify it?

This happens multiple times per day, but it does not seem to be on a regular schedule (i.e., not every hour). I do not know what made it start doing this and I do not know how to stop it. I don't remember making any changes that would be obvious (to me) culprits. I think I might have checked the box in Energy Saving preferences to "wake on network activity" so I unchecked that box and rebooted, but this did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?
