Dear MacOS X users
I setup an i-Mac (that nice
compact device with built-in screen and transparent housing as shown in http://www.apple.com/imac/) with MacOS X as a Telnet and Web server, so I'd like to run it non-stop.
At the console, only the login prompt appears most time because users work remotely.
The OS itself works fine but the screen goes only black instead power off (no typical power-on sound from the CRT electrics when moving the mouse locally). On every standard i386 desktop PC I simply can switch off the monitor when I'm not longer using it but there's only a general switch on the iMac's housing (the computer part itself should run to be able Telnet at any time!).
Is there a power management setting in MacOS X which I can set as "root" and which is applied when I logoff from the system? At the moment, the CRT is like a small heating and I don't want reduce its life time... ;-)
