For some reason, my clients (G5, OS 10.4.8) refuse to go to sleep
after the specified time. They are bound to and managed by an OD
server (also 10.4.8) and I'm pushing out the corresponding
settings in the preference pane "Energy saver". If I check on the
clients, the sleep timer is indeed set to 20 minutes (as is
specified on the OD server), but nevertheless, the clients refuse
to sleep, even after some hours, no matter if someone is logged in
or not.
The odd thing is that if I specify I really short idle time before
they should sleep, like 1 or 2 minutes, they will go to sleep
after that time (more or less).
I have Remote Desktop Client running on all clients, but this
shouldn't prevent them from sleeping, should it?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help, Tina

Hello Tina, try to zap the pram on the machines, sametimes bad pram
content may prevent connect machine sleep.
you can zap pram pressing Command-Alt-P-R ar system startup.
Note: zapping pram will unset your default startup disk, you will
need to reselect the correct startup disk in "startup disk"
preference pane, to avoid delay in system startup.
Regards
Amedeo

Hmm, this could be worth a try. Right at the moment I seem to have
found a workaround. I disabled "Put the display to sleep" and just
kept "Put the computer so sleep" after 20 minutes, and this seems to
work (but it's still a bit unreliable). Somehow the display sleep and
computer sleep were biting each other... may be it's because the Dell
screens (yikes!) have their own sleep function built in, and this is
interfering with the display sleep command coming from the G5?
