how to wakeup a sleeping mac ?

Hi all,

just curious is it possible to have your application wake up the MAC, if so how is it done, im kind of new to Mac

or should i use somethig similar like in my pc some schduling app ?

any recomendations of such programs, or how it would be done with BMax code ? :)

the OS im running on it is MacOSX 10.4.10

Dont really think its possible - I dont think programs are actually running when the Mac is asleep.

In "System Preferences/Energy Saver/Schedule..." you can define wake-up (and shutdown) times for your Mac.

Other than that, I think the only option to wake a Mac from "deep sleep" would be wake-on-LAN. This can help you there:

(I haven't tried it myself, though.)

The Mac which is sleeping cannot run a program to wake itself up, the whole point of being on sleep is that most of the hardware is powered down except the contents of memory are not trashed. Like Winni said, only some external input can trigger a wake up, which is at a hardware level.

thank you guys for the answers :)

seems like i gone need to use the Energy save to wakeup the computer,now i need to figure out how to start my app once my Mac is awake :)
