Someone mentioned caffeine, but sometimes the command line is more useful, especially if you run your port commands from a script. While “pmset noidle” is running the machine is not supposed to go to sleep. So you could structure your port script along the lines of #!/bin/bash pmset noidle & ... do the work here ... kill %pmset You can also use pmset to manipulate the power management settings, bypassing the System Preferences. See the man page for details. - Harald _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
