I think you are a bit hard on Logitech. Mountain Lion introduced a new sleep policy (hard drive activity is ignored in resetting the sleep timer, only keyboard or mouse activity counts) that might not have made it into the final version of ML, so it wasn't really something to concentrate on. And ML has been out for less than a month. Also, it is primarily an Apple issue, as any program that runs for a long time without human interaction (large downloads, video conversion, etc) gets caught. If you look at the Mountain Lion section of Apple support community, the thread "help with caffeinate", you will find, as soon as I have time to put it up, instructions on how to write your own script to keep a Mac awake. Someone else will need to write a simple program to put this in the menu bar, in the way that Caffeine did. I know a fair bit about this kind of problem, because of the reverse issue. My Mac running Snow Leopard refuses to go to sleep according to the Energy Saver settings. That got solved by using a third party sleep timer, but those were not reset by hard drive activity. So I had to use Jiggler or Caffeine to keep the Mac awake when I needed to (or Really Prevent Standby or Sever Power Control for Squeezebox use). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
