I ran into a problem where AppleScript would send the quit command, then LimeChat would display an 'are you sure?' input box. Localhost:~ $ osascript -s 'tell application 'LimeChat' to quit'

You can test AppleScripts on the command line by doing osascript -s 'some command', in this case Note that you need to set the executable bit I did chmod 755. Here's my ~/Library/LaunchAgents/: Īnd here's my ~/.sleep file. Finally, to load the sleepwatcher script, I did launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/.I also created an empty ~/.wakeup file, in case I want to use it later. Following the suggestion in the sample file, I created a file at ~/.sleep, made it executable, then included the applscript stuffs. The AppleScript I needed was a one-liner.

It also can send the Mac to sleep mode or retrieve the time since last user activity. SleepWatcher lets you run arbitrary commands on wake/sleep/displaydim/displayundim. It can be used to execute a Unix command when the Mac or the display of the Mac goes to sleep mode or wakes up or after a given time without user interaction. SleepWatcher setup for Hue lights to turn off and on when my screen does. If I needed to run commands system-wide, I would have needed to put the plist file inside /Library/LaunchDaemons. SleepWatcher is a command line tool (daemon) for macOS that monitors sleep, wakeup and idleness of a Mac.

I only need to run commands for my specific user (I'm the only user on this machine). screenresolution, sctk, sdcv, sendmidi, shellinabox, shenidam, sleepnow, sleepwatcher, slib, slowhttptest, stk-synthesis-toolkit, svn-all-fast-export.

Create a file named inside ~/Library/LaunchAgents.

Note that the SleepWatcher readme is actually not super useful, although the homebrew output suggests that you read it. Sleepwatcher is a Mac OS X background daemon that can trigger a script to run when various power related events occur, such as the laptop sleeping or waking up, the screen dimming, or power adapter being connected or disconnected.

Install SleepWatcher, I used homebrew: homebrew install sleepwatcher Load the local launchd agent configuration, this starts the SleepWatcher daemon with your user account: f1 launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/de.Here's how I did it (on OSX 10.9 Mavericks): It happened again this week, and I got annoyed, and decided to find a way to prevent it from happening again. This spams every channel with a ton of connect/disconnect messages overnight and into the next morning. One super annoying thing is, sometimes I leave for the day, close my laptop lid, but forget to exit IRC.

Some people leave it open all the time I prefer to use it as 'office hours', and only have it open when I'm working and more-or-less interruptible. My solution: use SleepWatcher to run an AppleScript that tells the app to quit. My problem: I need to close a program before my mac goes to sleep, but sometimes I forget.
