Magic packet wakes remote Mac, but then it goes back to sleep...

by David Sankey <D.P.C.Sankey@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 10, 2008 at 09:49 AM

I'm interested in having an old MDD G4 in our computer room for 
occasional file synchronisation.

As usage is intermittent, having the machine asleep most of the time 
seems sensible.

I have no problem with sending it a magic packet to wake it remotely, 
but it then goes back to sleep even if I've logged in (ssh) or even 
mounted one of its disks (personal file sharing).

Anyone know how, once it's been woken remotely, to keep a Mac awake 
(other than have it never sleep)?

Many thanks,

            Dave Sankey
