Hi Severin, In past versions of OS X, the system would not enter sleep if applications were running and writing files to disk or running lengthy computational tasks, but this has changed in the latest releases of OS X, (Lion & Mountain Lion) where " programs must invoke a power assertion "in order to keep the system from going to sleep.
If a program does not do this, then the system may halt its activity and go into sleep mode regardless of what the program is doing. <http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57503027-263/troubleshooting-sleep-in-os-x/> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 08/07/2013, at 11:46 AM, Severin Crisp <sevcr...@westnet.com.au> wrote: > Thanks for both those two suggestions, Ronni.
