It would indeed seem that your EyeTV is scheduling events. It might be useful to read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pmset There is a lot of information there about the pmset command and waking/sleeping and so forth. Issuing the command: pmset -g sched in the Terminal might also be revealing, although it should be pretty much the same info as in the file. -- Bruce Carter, Center for Creative Computing University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556 On 5/3/12 2:24 PM, "Dinse, Gregg (NIH/NIEHS) [E]" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi Bruce, >I found the file you mentioned.
