/usr/local/sbin/sleepwatcher no such file or directory error.

lectricas commented 2 years ago

If I do this sleepwatcher --verbose --sleep ~/Developer/scripts/sleepscript.sh --wakeup /path/to/your/wakeupscript, the sleepwatcher app runs in terminal, but nothing happens.

Can you please describe the effects of each command?

hey, im really grateful for this noob friendly tutorial. Could you please tell me how I can create a script to turn the wifi back on when Im waking my Mac?

adriaandotcom commented 1 year ago

@Blackspell01 probably with a file at --wakeup /path/to/your/wakeupscript with this as its contents: networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi on. Didn't test it though.

hello, thank you for all information. I installed sleepwatcher 2.2.1. after installation, I received the following message:

For SleepWatcher to work, you will need to write sleep and wakeup scripts, located here when using brew services:

~/.sleep ~/.wakeup

To start sleepwatcher now and restart at login: brew services start sleepwatcher Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: /opt/homebrew/opt/sleepwatcher/sbin/sleepwatcher -V -s /Users//.sleep -w /Users//.wakeup

I created .sleep and .wakeup files using vi, and made them executable (as shown above).

I put in .sleep file the following:

!/bin/sh

networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi off

I put in .wakeup file the following:

!/bin/sh

networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi on

I ran sleepwatcher brew services start sleepwatcher
