I've worked on a product which was essentially a background program that was doing live device communication. Often, users chose "Sleep" from the menu bar and accidentally interrupted the communication, causing the device to suddenly stop and files to be truncated prematurely. What happens if you start a file copy to/from a server in Finder and then put the machine to sleep? I hope it either warns the user or completes the copy before sleeping.
