![]() SleepWatcher is a command line tool (daemon) that monitors sleep, wakeup and idleness of a Mac. $ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/de.īelow you'll find the original readme from SleepWatcher: $ sudo cp config/de. /Library/LaunchDaemons/ $ sudo cp sleepwatcher.8 /usr/local/share/man/man8 $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man/man8 Please make sure the directories are right, you probably don't want to leave it on your Desktop! Check config/de. to make sure it links to the correct shell script. NOT ALL FEATURES FROM SleepWatcher ARE AVAILABLE, IF YOU WISH TO USE ALL FEATURES GO TO Installation This uses a modified version of SleepWatcher by Bernhard Baehr, all credits go to him! Daemon uses almost no resources, it only listens for closing the lid!. ![]() SafeSleep when you need it, only below a certain threshold.No excessive writing to your poor SSD everytime you close your MB.No waiting for your MB to fully enter sleep.We can assume you connect to power before your battery is fully empty, because when in sleep the MB will use little power. If the amount of battery left is above that threshold, your MB will go to sleep quickly without writing anyting to disk. This little tool will write the ram contents to disk only if your battery percentage is below a certain threshold, say 15%. Handy, but always necessary? Don't think so! If you lose battery power, the system can restore the contents of the ram by reading the data from disk. This means the contents of your ram will be written to disk everytime you close your MB. By default MacOSX uses SafeSleep when your MacBook goes to sleep.
