Hi Severin, > I do not want everything to power down, just to put the G5 to sleep. > Aaah then my previous ramblings are addressing the wrong problem ;o)
My first thought would be does your display have a front (or otherwise easily accessible) power button. If so have both computer and display plugged into the master and then, on an evening shutdown the computer, then the display. Similarly, on a morning, power up both the computer and display. Yes, it¹s been a lovely day here in Albany Georgie & I went for a walk along the beach before a late and leisurely lunch/coffee/cake at Emu Point :o)) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
