SafeSleepOnce puts your Mac into safe sleep once and automatically enables normal sleep afterwards.

Safe sleep is also called deep sleep, hibernation or suspend-to-disk, whereas normal sleep is also called standby or suspend-to-RAM.

When SafeSleepOnce is launched, you are asked for confirmation to enter safe sleep. This dialog can be disabled in the preferences.

If you press and hold the Alt or Option key while launching SafeSleepOnce, the preference window will be shown.

Donations welcome!

Works great and I can have it in my Dock for quick access. I was using the similar widget for the dashboard, but this is more convenient and it doesn't require an administrator password at all, which is awesome. Thanks for this handy utility!

On my MacBook 1.1 with 1G of RAM and a 7200 RPM HDD using SafeSleepOnce
• it only takes a few seconds to power off
• roughly ten seconds to restore desktop from cold boot!
• this is great because I can leave apps, docs etc open and still shut down and they'll be exactly as I left them when I turn the computer on again
