DESCRIPTION
SleepWatcher is a command line tool (daemon) for Mac OS X that monitors sleep, wakeup and idleness of a Mac. It can be used to execute a Unix command when the Mac or the display of the Mac goes to sleep mode or wakes up or after a given time without user interaction. It also can send the Mac to sleep mode or retrieve the time since last user activity. A StartupItem, sample start and sleep scripts and the source code for sleepwatcher are included in the download. A little bit knowledge of the Unix command line is required to benefit from this software.

    ANONYMOUS  this program sounds awesome!

    I am a lab admin, this would be great could set machines to re-image, but only say if they have been left alone for a couple of hours, if the imaging is being done in the early morning.

    Plus all kinds of other neat stuff could be attached to the machine not being in use, IE, become part of a cluster, or start some maintenance.

    Please fix the links I am interested!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CHRIS  This sounds perfect!

    My machine needs a certain amount of security, but not so much as to be obtrusive.

    I've wanted a way to set up my Mac so that the screen saver won't lock the machine and require a password. However, when it sleeps, I want it to require a password when it wakes.

    I hope I'll be able to set 'Require password after screensaver and wake from sleep' in System Preferences to 'off'. Then, use this app and a bit of AppleScript magic to lock the computer just as it goes to sleep.

    Can't wait to get home from work to try this out!
