Midnight... When it's time to leave your Mac for a while, you want a nice quick way of putting it to sleep and a little bit of flexibility in how you do it.

In addition to choosing a particular sleep mode you can choose whether your Mac should switch to the log-in screen before going to sleep.
If your Mac doesn't support safe sleep you can still use Midnight but the hibernation option will be

Midnight is a clever little fella and can handle all this for you without ever needing to know your administrator's password.
Apple only officially supports safe sleep on the PowerBook G4 (Double-Layer SD) together with all of the new Intel books and desktops, so Midnight does just the same. Donations gratefully received.

People have had success enabling hibernation on iBook G4's by following the guide at:
http://andrewescobar.com/archive/2005/11/11/how-to-safe-sleep-your-mac/
or

Note: This is a hack and is not supported by anyone!
I have not tried it but I see no reason Midnight won't allow hibernation if you do implement the hack (I'm interested to know what happens if you do try it).
