Preventing Manual Sleep in Tiger

I maintain a couple of Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 that run some launchd tasks at a certain time every night. If the tasks run successfully, the machines shut themselves down later in the night. If the tasks encounter a problem, the scheduled shutdown is aborted.
Despite gentle "encouragement", the standard users that run the machines occasionally put the machines to sleep manually. I can set the machines to wake up at a certain time...but, because of a bug in launchd on 10.4.11 the time spent asleep is ADDED to the scheduled time of the task. For example, if I schedule a task to run at 1am -- and the machine has been asleep for 4 hours --- the task won't run until 5am at the earliest. Considering that these machines might be asleep for days at a time, manual sleep can cause some real problems. This bug also mangles the scheduled shutdown.
Is there a way I can prevent users from manually putting their machines to sleep? Is there a safe way to disable the Sleep menu?
Thanks.

This hint suggests editing the menu interface files in /System. In my own testing, it seems to work ok...still, I am nervous about pushing this out to a half-dozen aged machines.
also related things here. Maybe Applescript could be used as a reminder?

Some kind've automated reminder...? It's a possibility...but they've already shown a willingness to disregard reminders...!

  • Prevent manual entry  in user defined value

    Is it possible to prevent manual entry  in user defined value (Formatted search)?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I don't think there is any out of the box solution .
    It is possible if formatted search automatically populates your data but I think in your case ,user is selecting the list of special codes you have provided .
    May be it can be done by SDK . Try posting in SDK forum .
    Hope this helps

  • Auto-sleep, okay. Manual sleep, and it wakes back up. ???

    My iMac keeps waking itself up after I set it to sleep. It only stays asleep if the auto-sleep time runs out in the power saver under system preferences. Why won't manual sleep (through the apple menu) work?

    Hi Enio
    First eject and disconnect any External HD's, iPod's, iPhone's, iPad's, other USB devices, turn off your printer and see if it will sleep.
    Next reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    +1. Shut down the computer.+
    +2. Unplug the computer's power cord.+
    +3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
    +4. Release the power button.+
    +5. Attach the computers power cable.+
    +6. Press the power button to turn on the computer+
    Then if that does not help, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776

  • Manual Sleep Problem

    Occasionally, when I try to put my G5 to sleep manually, it won't go to sleep. I always make sure that all powered peripherals are unplugged. And then the problem goes away after restarting. But the the manual sleep problem returns within a week or so. I prefer to keep my Energy Saver on "Never Sleep" because I run Pro Tools on my machine and it doesn't support sleep mode.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks

    David Penick1-
    From your description it is most likely one of the externally attached devices.
    The USB and FW hubs built in to the Apple monitors have a habit of causing this problem. I would disconnect those hubs first and see what happens.
    It may be one of the drives as well.
    I would suggest disconnecting all external peripherals except keyboard and mouse and see if the problem goes away. If it does, keep adding devices one at a time until you discover which one is causing the problem.
    Luck-

  • When lock My MacBook under Maverick i want to prevent Display sleep. How to to this?

    When lock My MacBook under Maverick i want to prevent Display sleep. How to to this?

    I agree this is works when MacBook is locking after some time. Once I press keyboard shortcut to lock, Display also is set to sleeping mode, So question is how to prevent this in this case?
    Thank you!

  • Manually "sleeping" my MAC results in a state where I cannot wake it

    I'm running 10.5.6, and if I manually sleep my iMAC, I cannot wake it. Only solution is to push and hold the power button for around 10 secs (or unplug the unit) and then power back on.
    Solutions?
    - Greg

    I don't normally "sleep" my Mac. Today a family member visiting manually put it to "sleep".
    When I tried to wake the Mac .... the USB hub came to life (lights) .... the scanner warmed up and reset, but the screen was dark and the keyboard/mouse dead.
    I had to shut it down with the power button and restart. I have never had this happen before, but it is quite rare for me to "sleep" my Mac.

  • Pismo Sound Problems after Sleep in Tiger

    Hi all. New to the forums and returning to Macs after years of cursing Bill Gates. Picked up a Powerbook Pismo from a friend and have been having some fun with it, but I have one problem I can't solve. I replaced the hard drive (saved the old one) and installed Tiger and 1GB of memory on the machine. All seemed well until I noticed that the sound would not work sometimes after sleeping. The sound will usually return with a reboot, but sometimes I'll have to actually turn the machine off, and clear the PRAM to get the sound to come back. Sometimes, the volume and screen controls will both not work at all (pop up doesn't even appear when the keys are pressed), sometimes it's just that the sound doesn't work, but everything looks right on the screen. I've also had the sound and screen buttons not work only to have pop ups suddenly appear and the adjustments happen several minutes after I pressed the keys. So far I've tried:
    Clearing the PRAM
    Checked the Pram Battery (ok)
    Reinstalled Tiger (Still loses sound)
    Downgraded to 10.3 (problem persists, and seems worse)
    In system information on Tiger it says "there was an error when retrieving that information" when you click on the sound hardware.
    The machine is a 500mhz Pismo with a 48gig drive and 1 gig of Memory (133mhz, would that cause this sort of problem?)
    I have not tried going back to OS9 to see if the disappearing sound resolves as I don't currently have an OS9 disk.
    This sure seems like a software problem, but I'm starting to wonder. I really like this machine and want to get it to work! Help!

    Maxstang, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Did you repair permissions after you installed Tiger? Have you updated Tiger to 10.4.11?
    Here's the Sound troubleshooting info in the Pismo Service Manual.
    No sound from speaker(s)
    1. Verify mute mode is not enabled (F6 on the keyboard).
    2. Check the volume setting in the Sound control panel.
    3. Verify no external speakers or headphones are plugged in.
    4. Reset PRAM.
    5. Make sure speaker cable is plugged into sound card.
    6. Replace sound card.
    7. Replace speakers (part of the top case).
    8. Replace I/O logic board
    Startup sound is heard, then no sound from speaker(s)
    1. Remove sound preferences from System Folder, reset PRAM,
    then restart.
    2. Perform clean installation of system software.
    Had the Pismo previously had OS X installed. There's a firmware update (Boot ROM version 4.1.8) that should be installed prior to installing OS X. However, when I got my Pismo with Tiger installed, the firmware was not updated (have since updated). However, I don't think this could be the cause of your problem, since I had no sound problems when the update was not installed.
    The PC133 RAM (which runs at 100MHz) should not be the problem. I have PC133 RAM in my Pismo.
    Since you replaced the HD, could you have disturbed the connection to the Sound Card. The Sound Card is located to the upper-right of the HD. Here's a helpful laptop site.

  • How to prevent standby/sleep when charging

    I need to use an app on my phone constantly to enter data but I cannot find any way of preventing the phone from switching the screen off and going into standby mode.
    When I resume I have to navigate my way back into the app which is very frustrating.
    In WM6.5 it was possible to prevent sleep mode on mains power.  Surely something like this is available in WP7?

    There are options to change the lock screen timeout to a maximum of 5 mins. There is no option to disable it though. This is specific to Nokia phone's as other wp7's allow you to disable the lock screen completely. Nokia phones don't, they have made that decision in their design.. I believe this is a bad limitation as it is very frustrating to have to unlock the phone manually every 5 mins.
    This is incredibly annoying when using GPS in the car. Bing maps locks out every 5 mins making the navigation feature unusable in a car. Nokia Drive works fine though. It is also frustrating if using music when driving.
    It is up to the app developer to enable code that prevents the screen locking.
    I contacted Nokia about this and they have no plans to change it. They have done this to extend battery life, but that's irrelevant whilst charging.
    I wish i could just disable it like every other phone in existence.

  • IMac no longer connects to Wi-Fi on startup or after manual sleep

    Hello folks,
    I need some suggestions. Here is a description of the problem (as brief as possible):
    My late '09 21.5" iMac spur-of-the-moment didn't connect to my wireless network on a random day (2 or so weeks ago). I thought nothing of it, until I noticed it happening after I put it to sleep that same evening. I turned it off hoping it wouldn't happen again.
    It did.
    I have since been in contact with an Apple support person (it's still under warranty) and haven't talked to him in a while. I'm going to call him within the next few days (back in school now) to see if he has any solutions. Here is some more info without stories:
    Tried:
    Deleting preference files (all related to Airport and System Configuration
    Removing the Airport service altogether and adding it back on
    Turned router off and back on
    Changed routers completely (from an old Netgear to a new Netgear from Comcast)
    Turned modem off and took backup battery out
    Removed all references to wi-fi networks in Keychain Access
    Turned Firewall off in Sys Prefs and in Antivirus software (which will be deleted soon)
    Removed any unused login items/programs
    Other tidbits:
    Only happens at start-up and when I put it to sleep (not if it goes to sleep itself)
    Message pops up about no preferred networks being available as soon as my desktop loads up (my network is always on the top with 5 bars)
    Nothing changed on my Mac or Internet or environmentally
    During these changes I've restarted my Mac some 20 or 30 times.
    Running 10.6.4 and have all updates.
    Trust me, many things were covered in our 3 hour phone conversation. And as I said earlier, I will be calling him soon.
    I have never had a problem with my Mac before and am curious as to why this has happened so spur-of-the-moment.
    If you need any other specs, please ask.

    My previous 27" iMac is also '09 model just like your 21.5" iMac. I had the same connection issue as what you have described. But once the wireless connection had been made manually, the connection was rather reliable with reasonable bandwidth and without dropped connection. The problem was not resolved until Apple released updates for Mac OS 10.6.4 and transmission power of wireless router was increased to maximum. I suppose the problem was partly because of changes to aluminum unibody casing and smaller antenna. The only difference between your setup and mine is different wireless router (Netgear vs Airport Extreme).
    If you are confident on good signal strength, perhaps execute Software Update from Apple icon on main menu bar to make sure that all updates have been applied properly. Last resort is to reinstall Mac OS 10.6.4 from scratch with all updates applied. There is also one easy way to monitor signal strength after connection has been made manually, pressing on option key while right clicking on Airport icon on main menu bar. The field RSSI indicates signal strength in negative dB value (smaller negative value means higher signal strength).
    If you do not want to mess with the Netgear wireless router, one way is to bypass iMac built-in antenna all together by using Airport Express. Based on my regular monitoring of signals on iMac and Airport Express, Airport Express has much higher and consistent signal strength than unibody iMac. Plug in Airport Express on power socket outlet near your iMac, connect a Ethernet cable from iMac to Airport Express and use Airport Express as wireless bridge between main Netgear wireless router and iMac. Better still if you can afford to discard the Netgear router, just replace Netgear with Airport Express all together and use newer 802.11n protocol instead of older 802.11b/g protocol for better speed and range (assuming the Netgear router does not support 802.11n protocol). The Airport Express can also be doubled as base station for sharing printer and speaker in wireless network.
    Apple has to assume responsibility to ensure all its Airport wireless products work properly with all models of Mac whereas it is different story for other brands of wireless products. I once was using Belkin wireless router but had to switch to Airport Extreme/Express because of issues occurred whenever Apple released updates for Mac products. If there is problem between iMac and Airport Express rather than Netgear, there is no reason Apple technical support can ignore the problem (particularly if you have purchased AppleCare for your iMac which cover all Apple accessories as well).

  • Happy on Leopard, hangs on sleep with Tiger: Firmware issue?

    I have an early 2005 G5 dual 2.0 that I bought new. It has 2.5GB of RAM and two drives: a 1TB and a just-recently-reinstalled original 160 GB drive.
    I've updated it through the years and recently it's been running Leopard 10.5.8 on the 1TB drive.
    I've just replaced it with a Mac Pro as my main machine, and wanted to set up the G5 to run Classic apps, so installed the original 160GB drive, wiped it clean with Drive Genius, and did an erase and install from my original 10.4 CD, followed by a bunch of Software Update runs to get it to 10.4.11.
    Trouble is, when booted in 10.4.11, every time it sleeps, the fans go into high gear and the system hangs, so I have to press the power button to shut it down.
    I cleaned off the disk and reinstalled.
    I zapped the PRAM/NVRAM.
    I booted in Open Firmware and did a reset.
    I disconnected the 10.5 disk.
    I ran Apple Hardware Test.
    I disconnected all cables and pressed the PMU/SMU reset button.
    Had a very nervous day when reconnecting the power cord gave me a solid power LED and a non-operational power button, until I got brave and reset the PMU again with the power cord plugged in (against Apple advice, but some folks said it worked). That got me booted again.
    Ran through several cycles of circle-with-bar gray screen boots, hang with loud fan boots, safe boots, etc.
    None of these steps indicated anything unusual or stopped the loud fan/dark screen/hang under 10.4.11.
    I'm now at the point where the machine boots fine, sleeps fine, and is generally happy as a clam when booted on my tried-and-true 10.5.8 disk, but does the loud fan/dark screen/hang when booted under 10.4.11, most consistently around sleep time, but sometimes just trying to boot.
    Other possible useful debugging info:
    Right now, the only things plugged in are Ethernet, Apple Keyboard, Apple Mighty Mouse, and VGA monitor with DVI adapter.
    Internal speaker no longer works, but headphone jack does.
    I did try during this process to get my old Thrustmaster ADB joystick running via a Griffin iMate, but those experiments are on hold until I get the base system stable.
    Most posts about similar behaviors (for example, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2444469&start=0&tstart=0) point to a hardware issue, but that doesn't make sense to me because there aren't any issues under 10.5.8.
    My current thinking is that it may possibly be a firmware issue, that I have a version installed that requires 10.5.x and is not compatible with 10.4.x. System Profiler lists
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.4f1
    However, I can't find much info about this version.
    Even if I found a 10.4-friendly Firmware Update, I'm not sure the machine would let me install an older version.
    So, does my thinking seem sound, or are there other avenues I should pursue?

    No PCI cards other than stock video card.
    No 3rd party kexts running. Just a fresh install of 10.4, then everything Software Update fed me to get to 10.4.11.
    Safe boot does not change the behavior.
    I ran several more experiments and have some more results to share.
    Booting from the Tiger disk reliably caused the machine to become unresponsive when going into sleep mode, after which the fans would go to full speed after a couple of minutes. Occasionally, upon power down and power up, I'd get the gray screen with the circle/slash graphic. Powering down and powering up would then result in a successful reboot.
    Booting from the Leopard disk would not cause the machine to hang when going in to sleep. However, I did notice that the machine wasn't really sleeping, either. The screen would blank, but I never heard hard disks park (the option to "put hard disks to sleep when possible" is checked in the Energy Saver System Preference), and the case fans continued spinning at low (normal) speed. Wake up took no time at all and made no sound except from the monitor. It may not be sleeping, but at least it's not crashing, either.
    Perhaps there really is a hardware issue, and Leopard is handling it more gracefully than Tiger. Unfortunately, Apple Hardware Test isn't finding it, and I see nothing indicated in the logs.
    It's less than ideal, but unless I find a solution, I may just put the machine in never sleep mode to keep it from crashing.

  • Odd Manual "Sleep" Behavior

    At the end of every day I restart my iMac and then manually put it to sleep (via drop-down Apple icon). Computer is programmed to wake at a fixed time each morning (works perfectly).
    Commencing about 3 weeks ago (still using 10.6.2), the iMac would immediately "wake up" after "sleeping" for only about 4 seconds. A second attempt at "sleeping" is successful! This phenomenon would occur about 50% of the time.
    After installing 10.6.3 (apparently fault-free), this annoyance (that's all it is) has continued.
    Any ideas?

    Well... I tried your suggestion, but "sleep" worked perfectly!
    When it starts back up on its own volition is quite unpredictable. In the past 3 weeks, I'd say it has occurred about 50% of the evenings.
    Anyway... here is last evening's log. Can you decipher the problem?

  • "Disable Screen Saver" hot corner no longer prevents Display Sleep

    I am not sure whether it started only after I upgraded to 10.5.7, but I certainly have this very annoying issue right now.
    I have "Disable Screen Saver" assigned to the top right "hot corner". Some time ago I could place my mouse pointer there in order to prevent activating of "Display Sleep" (as well as gradually dimming before jumping into bed).
    It no longer works. I have my pointer in the right corner, and nevertheless the display first dims, then goes to sleep.
    Is this only my problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

    Anybody?

  • Prevent Manual URL

    Hi,
    I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 with ADF BC and ADF Faces.
    I have an unbounded task flow with several views including a welcome page. Currently, a user can manually enter a URL to take them to any one of the views. I would now like to redirect the user to the welcome page if he/she tries to do this.
    The following post from 2007 describes how this can be accomplished by checking for a GET in a ServletFilter: Re: Faces - Preventing user from entering URL manually However, when I try to do this, I find that the commandLinks within my application are also using the GET method.
    I was under the impression that commandLinks were supposed to do a POST. Is there any other way to tell if a URL was typed manually?
    Here's the web.xml and filter code that I was using to test...
    web.xml:
    <filter>
    <filter-name>UrlFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>app.uiview.filters.UrlFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>
    doFilter Method in UrlFilter.java:
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
    FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    System.out.println("\n***Method: " + ((HttpServletRequest)request).getMethod());
    chain.doFilter(request, response);
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Amir/Brad,
    Actually I was thinking about the possibility of using referer in a servlet filter as well (haven't had time to test this out). You could very well write a servlet filter that would look for a GET request with no referer and redirecting that to a home page. You may also have to be aware of template GET requests too. Another possibility would be (in your filter) to redirect GET requests for any of your specific JSP(x) resources except for the "home page" one - you could possibly even make this resilient against changes in your app by reading the unbounded task flow to determine all of the "safe" resources (that would allow GET requests) and unsafe ones (where you would redirect). If a GET request came in through the servlet filter for a resource that wasn't in the unbounded task flow (such as would be the case for a template), you would just pass it through.

  • Prevent computer sleep when Apple TV is streaming from iTunes ...

    Hi,
    Is it possible to prevent my computer from going to sleep when my Apple TV is streaming from my iTunes library ?  I was told that I can watch a port to see if there is data  streaming through it. 
    What is the port used for this ?
    Regards.

    Hi Chris,
    My computer does not go to sleep in response to the system preferences's setup.  It has always been like that since I bought my iMac.  I have submitted this problem to this forum many times and was never able to find a clue.
    I don't have any other problem with my iMac and it works great.  I also didn't want to go through a full reinstall.  In order to get it to sleep, I wrote a little handler script that monitors my computer's activity.  It looks at specific apps or processes and monitors their activity.  If none of these apps or processes have been active for a specified amount of time, the script forces my computer to sleep.
    When streaming is pushed from iTunes to my Apple TV, iTunes is then acting as a server.  I can see if it is using CPU.  I monitor it's activity and put it to sleep when the delay is expired.  When streaming is pulled from my Apple TV, iTunes does not use my CPU and I don't know how to monitor this specific «pulled streaming».  I hope that this better explains what I am trying to do.
    Thanks in advance.
