Hello JAMF!



I'm currently using this to set my Energy Saver options. I can't seem to figure out how to UNCHECK the 'Put hard disk to sleep when possible' and CHECK Start up automatically after power failure'. I'm trying to avoid using Config Profiles for this because of some issues. Any help would be appreciated!



if [[ $shortModel == "MacBook" ]]; then



    pmset -b sleep 15 disksleep 10 displaysleep 5 halfdim 1



    pmset -c sleep 0 disksleep 0 displaysleep 30 halfdim 1



else    



    pmset sleep 0 disksleep 0 displaysleep 30 halfdim 1



fi

Although old, this was my reference site for learning about pmset:



http://www.macos.utah.edu/documentation/administration/pmset.html



pmset -g disk will show you the capabilities of each machine.



Whenever possible, I prefer to use a Configuration Profile because it's pretty easy/your options are right there in the GUI:



Thanks @RobertHammen pmset -g helped a lot! I'm trying to avoid Config profiles just for the power settings. I've had issues in the past.



Solution:



Prevent HDD from sleeping



pmset disksleep 0



Prevent System sleep



pmset -a sleep 0



Start up automatically after a power failure



pmset -a autorestart 1



Allow display to sleep after 15 minutes



pmset -a displaysleep 15



Display sleep will use an intermediate half-brightness mutant state



pmset -a halfdim 1



Allow Wake on LAN



pmset -a womp 1

Ran into problems with Configuration Profiles managing HD sleep today as well.



Simple command, we may have over-engineered this using Configuration Profiles.



K.I.S.S. <-- note to self.
