<div class="im">Check out Caffeine at the Mac app store. It drops something in your
toolbar at the top of your screen (looks like a coffee mug). A single
click and it prevents your computer from going to sleep and/or showing
the screen saver. (Easiest manual way of turning sleep on/off I've
seen)<br>
<br>I've never had my MacBook Pro turn off, either (I don't have a
desktop to try it out on), but the hardware is different. It could be
that your HDD cache is bigger/better on the iMac so it doesn't have to
spin up as often (indeed, maybe not even often enough to register before
going to sleep).<br></div></blockquote><div><br>Ha, followup -- this is because may laptop is not set to go to sleep while plugged in (only on battery).

<br>Does it actually go to sleep mid-compile? Or does it get stuck
somewhere (i.e. in download stage) where computer resources aren't used
so it assumes all is safe to sleep?<br><br>Hope some of that helped,<br>Jason<br><br></div>(I always forget to reply to all!)<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 10:30 PM, Scott Webster <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sewebster@gmail.com" target="_blank">sewebster@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

gimp2 and it's dependencies. I could have sworn that my macbook does<br>
not go to sleep when compiling. Anyone aware of any relevant<br>
differences between these two systems? Or a way to prevent this<br>
