New! SafeSleep 1.0

Filed under: New Release
SafeSleep

This is a nifty little AppleScript front-end I wrote up that automates the process of putting your Mac into hibernation. I’ve been using it for months without a hitch. I got most of my information for the underlying terminal commands from the following places:

Now, it’s pretty cool how this works. And as I’ve said I haven’t had any problems yet. But this usage of MacOS X’s safe sleep is not officially supported by Apple. That being said, you’ll need MacOS X 10.4, and a laptop. I’ve tried it on a couple desktop macs and it hasn’t worked at all, but it didn’t have any adverse consequences either.
