PleaseSleep is a utility software designed for Mac OS X that helps put your computer to sleep when you know some other app is preventing your Mac from going to sleep.

Depending on the preferences you set, PleaseSleep will try to put your computer to sleep when the scheduled sleep timer kicks in. PleaseSleep is very easy to configure, you can enable, disable, and access its preferences via the system menu bar icon. You can choose to have PleaseSleep activate the sleep

Two wishes from my side:
1) Please include an option to remove the menu bar icon, it just takes up space.
2) Is there anyway to make it not force sleep when copying files?
Thanks :)

You might be able to prevent sleep when doing long file copy operations, by launching a small app whenever you do those copies, and add that app to PleaseSleep's exceptions list.

Otherwise, it functions as expected.

The only thing I don't like is the bright red, cluttered menubar icon. Fortunately it is relatively easy to substitute black and grey icons (look in Contents > Resources for three files named menu-foo.gif).

But, PLEASE, add to future version NEW PREFERENCES: Force sleep "Only if any of the following apps IS NOT RUNNING"!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be good for apps like EyeTV, AudioHijack, etc.
