I am puzzled at the Sleep habits of my G5 1.8, 10.5.5.
If I select Sleep from the Apple menu it goes unambiguously into full
sleep to be awakened by hitting a key.
Energy saver is set to put displays to sleep after 7 mins (which it
does) and to put the computer to sleep after 10mins. Additionally the
disks are set to sleep whenever possible.
If I walk away from the computer it never goes properly to sleep, the
red light always shows in my USB mouse which will bring the display
back to life with a mouse movement and I can hear the disks running.
Mail is set to check every 15 mins, Degrees Down Under refreshes every
10 mins and Skype usually shows me online. I believe Activity
monitor should lead me to what is preventing full sleep but am unable
to interpret what I see. This is not a vital matter but I would like
to understand what is going on, comments much appreciated.
