NoSleep is an application which is very helpful if you want to prevent your Mac from going to

sleep or if you want to wake it at a specified time and then keep it awake. The utility addresses
everybody who might need their Macs for static activities which might cause their Macs to go to
sleep in the middle of their activities. This application updates the system activity periodically as
soon as it is launched and until it is quit or until the battery charge level is below a specified
threshold (which helps prevent the Mac from running out of energy when unplugged). In
addition, you can set the time when you want your Mac to go to sleep and, at the same time, the
time you want it to wake and then quit at the specified time. In order to do so, NoSleep must run
as root, and you can do it in Preferences. One way is to use Chalaut, a "run as root" app launcher
which is available with the application. In fact, all these various aspects can be easily controlled
from the Preference window in the smallest details. You dont even have to set the date or time
when the application should quit: you can set the application to quit itself after a specific number
of hours. There is also the possibility to use fractions of hours to do the setting. In terms of
requirements, the utility runs on Mac OS X 10.4.4 and above. AD: The application is reliable and
very easy to use. D: The energy consumed by the application is rather high.
