Actually, the screen saver isn't 'sleeping' the machine, what you want to look at is the power management tools. Often the screen saver will be made aware of power management settings, but you usually can't update them from there. On my laptop, in the Control Centre there's a section called 'Powerbook Battery' which I imagine is something else on desktop machines (sorry, out of town and don't have one in front of me). > For details regarding the sleep command itself, do: > > $ man sleep This isn't putting the machine to sleep, this is something a process does, not at all the same thing. What's closer to what the person had asked for is apm (man apm), although I don't know if there are newer/better things for power management, since I've never put a desktop Linux box to sleep. Cheers, Chris
