[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: postgis vs osx sleep

[William Kyngesburye]

I've had Postgres on my MacBook for years, across 3 system versions, and I haven't had problems with mysterious waking.  As far as I know, no program should cause a Mac to wake unintentionally, it needs to set the wake timer (like for an alarm clock).

It looks like that cutedgesystems postgres issue is for a different problem: not automaticaly sleeping after idle.

Maybe it's somehow connected to the Energy Saver option to wake for ethernet admin access? (I keep that off)  That uses said wake timer to periodically wake a Mac so it can make sure others know it's avialable.
