Preventing PowerBook lid wakeup
Once in a while, the lid of my PowerBook
doesn’t latch quite right and will open in its case. This wakes the
machine up. It will eventually go back to sleep, but this is annoying.
It’s possible to set the machine not to do this. Unfortunately, there
isn’t any user interface in the Energy Saver preference pane — you
need to use the pmset tool from
Terminal.
sudo pmset -b lidwake
0
sudo
is required to run with root
privileges
-b
means the settings apply when on
battery
lidwake
0 means don’t wake when laptop lid (or
clamshell) is opened
Thanks to Tobias
Peciva for setting me on the right track.
