Gordon, thanks for this. Jigstart is #!/bin/bash osascript -e 'tell application "Jiggler" to launch' and jigstop is #!/bin/bash osascript -e 'quit application "Jiggler"' My other option is to get wake on wireless lan working - in which case the SB Radio should be able to send a WoWlan command to the server 5 minutes before the alarm. Irritatingly WoWlan is only working intermittently, probably because I don't have the necessary Apple Airport router and am using a Linksys. Jigstart and jigstop work beautifully in preventing the Mac from going to sleep though. -- shawje ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
