Mac Mini Sleeping When Idle
We are having some issues with 2 Mac minis running Mojave. They go to sleep after a couple of minutes the user logs out.
We tried playing with the pmset
settings without luck
Here are my current settings
~/Documents/vc:$ pmset -g
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
standby 1
Sleep On Power Button 1
womp 1
autorestart 0
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
proximitywake 1
powernap 0
gpuswitch 2

hibernatemode 3
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 0
tcpkeepalive 1
highstandbythreshold 50
standbydelaylow 86400
Does anyone knows how to keep them awake 24/7? Our monitoring systems complain about the minis being unreachable.
You have some errors in your power settings.
hibernatemode 3
. 3 is the default for portables; since you have a Mac mini, this is incorrect; it should be 0 (default) for desktops.standby 1
. If you don't want your machine to go into standby at all, this should be set to 0autopoweroff
seems to be missing. This should also be set to 0 as it's enabled by default.
Issue the command
pmset -a hibernatemode 0 standby 0 autopoweroff 0
