System sleep depending on login & logout
Authored by: gshenaut on Jan 06, '05 05:31:18PM
Yes, sometimes you don't want the system to sleep, but not having it sleep whenever someone is logged in defeats the whole purpose of the sleep timer. The hard disk is spun down when it hasn't been used recently, something that won't happen during a long download & doesn't matter anyway because it will spin right back up the next time it is accessed. If you are rendering something, the screen may dim or blank, that's true, but if you are there, just press fn and it will come back. If you aren't around, then it won't matter.
