software update stops downloading when lid closed #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The no sleep utility installed and runs on my MacBook Pro 13" without a 
problem.  However, when the lid is closed, although the computer does not 
sleep, the front light does come on and for whatever reasons, the Apple 
Software Update utility stops downloading.  See attached performance monitor 
graph.  The dead region is with the lid closed.  Note that although the 
communication between Software Update and the server is really uneven, the red 
line (i.e. number of packets) drops to zero when the lid is closed but is 
non-zero otherwise.

Since this is my primary use case (i.e. to allow maintenance to happen without 
the computer being open), it would be fantastic if no sleep could be configured 
to allow updates to continue with the lid closed.
