Re: detect sleep



What are you hoping to do with this? Is there a need for your widget to update outside of the Dashboard environment?

I bypassed this by having an function that is called by

setinterval( bla, timeInMilliseconds)

that funciton compares the current time against the last time it was called.
If the difference is bigger than 30 seconds you can be very sure that the mac has fallen asleep.
usually the time difference is only a couple milliseconds.


BUT.... there is one thing that remains unclear.
I believe that such a cyclic call of a funcion prevents a mac from going to sleep by itself.
I was not able to verify that, yet.


Another thing that I did not verify is what it does when it wakes up... wheter it catches up where it was or whether it calls the function as many times as it would be when the mac was awake all the time.
