Difficult to see exactly from here. But if you're using a GUI like Gnome, I would advise to look at the power management settings. That's not perfect for a multi-purpose machine, but I think the best you can do is have the machine stay awake all the time (no PM) and ask the Server Power Control plugin to sleep the machine when it feels the SB system is not used anymore.
Additionally, you can have "hooks" that block Server Power Control from shutting down the machine when you are logged into the computer. You have to explicitly log out for the machine to go to sleep some time, but that's better than having the plugin shutdown the laptop when you're doing some office work... The hook feature is standard for OS X, but I've tested its equivalent with Gnome and XDM (should cover KDM too I think). You can search the Server Power Control thread in the 1/3 party plugins subforum, if you're interested. Ah well, over 100 pages...
