A helper script to enter SafeSleep on demand
Authored by: mark hunte on Nov 21, '05 09:09:51AM
I tried
pmset force -a hibernatemode 1
or
pmset force -a hibernatemode 3
which works with out the password. It works as virtual pref which is held in the memory. If you reboot or open the energy saver or the other pmset the real pref will be invoked.

A helper script to enter SafeSleep on demand
Authored by: luche on Mar 24, '06 01:18:55PM

thought i'd mention... so i'm not sure how many of you have anything for the expresscard slot yet... but i got a sony vaio with a sd/mmc/xd expresscard... which does work wonderfully in my macbook... but if it's plugged in, (ejected in the system or not...) i can't make the computer go to sleep... it'll blank the screen and 10 sec. later - it's running again... removed the card and it sleeps fine... tested it a number of times...

mind you, i wasn't playing with the script posted here, but rather with the pmset -a hibernatemode 3 command...

worth mentioning as well... with hibernatemode 1... (suspend to disk upon sleep) it'll make the disk image just fine and hibernate until i choose to wake it... i'm thinking this is a bug apple needs to take care of... i'll be talking to them next.
