PB G3 bronze, closed clamshell and external monitor, 10.2.2
just a couple days ago I began having problems with my energy saver - the Mac won't go to sleep when it is supposed to. The display goes black, but deep sleep does not come on. I've tried disabling screen effects, i thought that fixed it again (I had run for several weeks with this setup without any problem) but suddenly insomnia is back, without altering screen effects.
This is not a unique problem, I have read about it elsewhere but not with satisfactory solution - so rather than screw around with figuring it out (though I'll take suggestions), I thought:
Can anyone tell me a way to just schedule a deep sleep, like with an apple script or unix command and cron? (I tried Kudown but it won't work on any Mac I tried it on.) I'm most after the proper command at this point but I'm (obviously, probably ...) a newbie, really have no idea how to write that script or crontab myself, can anyone help?
