PowerNap #91

Closed drviver closed 7 years ago

drviver commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to prevent the scsi from sleeping, if there is currently an operation, like a time machine backup. Since it is developed as an kernel extension this should be possible I think, but sadly I am not into kernel programming all that much. I would really appreciate it, and also, great work, I appreciate it :) keep it up

It is in fact not possible. Apple controls which services run under power nap -- developers have no control over this as far as I know.

drviver commented 7 years ago

but with system integrity disabled, one can modify the system, means also power nap, but yeah I know, that would be very hard to program, since it requires to reverse engineer an app like time machine, to understand how exactly it works

SIP is disabled only temporarily until development is complete. The power nap APIs are not available to end users regardless which is an entirely different issue Fromm SIP.
