I don't Ronni but that is not the problem. I do not want everything
to power down, just to put the G5 to sleep. The Sleep current on the
G5 is too low! I am thinking of a twoway into the Master socket with
the G5 and something else to give a current boost when the G5 sleeps.
Of course the downside of that will be that at night after Shutdown,
that device will still be on. You just can not always win!

I see that we were hotter than you down here today, 32C at the airport
and 27.2 at 15 Thomas St on Mount Clarence. A very lethargic cat has
jut managed to stagger in for her evening meal while bandicoots are
happily foraging in the garden.. Our resident possum has just denuded
a big maple for the second time this summer, poor tree.

Trying to be energy miserly I bought a Jackson Green Energy Saving
Powerboard (http://www.ji.com.au/products/PT9778/).
It works fine with my G5 plugged in to the Master socket and
everything else, display, printers, router, modem, Airport,
scanner, Firewire drives and so on in Slave sockets. When I shut
down at night the G5 goes through Shutdown then everything switches
off. In the morning at 8.40am when the G5 restarts everything
comes back on.
There is an unfortunate snag. During the day when I am away from
the desk I put the G5 to sleep. When I try this it goes to sleep
then almost instantly reawakes. I believe that the sleep current
drawn is so small that the board obediently powers down the slaves
and in their dying gasps the modem and the like send out signals
and the G5 responds by waking up.
Has anyone else used one of these gadgets or have any bright ideas
for a workaround?
Hi Severin,
Just a thought, In System Preferences > Energy Saver. Do you have
the G5 set to “Wake for Network Access’.
Cheers,
Ronni
