Publisher's description
From Bernhard Baehr :SleepWatcher is a command line tool (daemon) for Mac OS X that monitors sleep, wakeup and idleness of a Mac. It can be used to execute a Unix command when the Mac or the display of the Mac goes to sleep mode or wakes up or after a given time without user interaction. It also can send the Mac to sleep mode or retrieve the time since last user activity. A StartupItem, sample start and sleep scripts and the source code for sleepwatcher are included in the download. A little bit knowledge of the Unix command line is required to benefit from this software. SleepWatcher is published under the GNU General Public License.
SleepWatcher and Leopard: Until an official update becomes available, see the developer's site for a fix to get SleepWatcher working with Mac OS X 10.5.
What's new in this version:
- SleepWatcher is now a Universal binary
- /etc/rc.sleep and /etc/rc.wakeup now handle long user names (with more than eight characters) correctly
