Basically consisting of 2 shellscripts: sleep.sh is running by launchd every 30 s, los.sh monitors changes in com.apple.PowerManagement.plist (add changed sleeptime in syspref to sleep.sh). The functionality is the same as in RIPscript - here as a 8kb-shellscript which run as root and therefore works also if no user is logged in ...

RIP3-(Apple)script for 10.7 and 10.8 ...
This Applescript compares the time since last user input with the Sleeptime in Syspreferences, and if idletime is greater than Sleeptime - sends your machine to sleep.

[pet1]

autosleep now works perfectly.. thank you.

[rogerabc]

How do I install this please.

Manual sleep works fine, but not autosleep.

Tried double clicking the .app file, but no joy.

Thanks for any advice.

I think you have to put the script in the startup Items folder. I used it for a while, now I don't need it anymore, but I remember thar I went to System Preferences, then Users and then I added the script to my startUp items....

Hope it helps

This is a new version of PenntNeu-script, which now recognizes the setting "Never" for sleep-delay in energy-saver preferences. It works in 10.6 too. You must add It to Start Up Objects on your User Account ...

Added try ... end try to the script to prevent an error while running time machine backups ...

Great stuff.

I had forced sleep and wake but couldn'r get auto sleep to go to deep sleep.

Not quite the solution I was looking for but this script does it for me.

Tks for your suggestion. Actually I managed to get sleep working with RIP.app.
I just want to know how to fix the problem without installing additional app.

To explain it in detail: this is no solution for any sleep-issue with the except of not working AUTOMATIC-Sleep. If your machine goes to sleep by menu-command and wake without problems, you can use it ...

To make this work, in main.scpt I had to change;

if idleTime > systemSleepDelay then				tell application "System Events"					key code 58				end tell				tell application "System Events" to sleep			end if

to;

if idleTime > systemSleepDelay then				do shell script "pmset sleepnow"			end if

Much thanks for your script!
The symptom I had before the change was that the login windoid would pop up when the script triggered, and no sleep, perhaps there are timing issues with different hardware?

Will the system sleep when I'm typing, using internet etc. or only after idle timeout?
