Turns out I was misinformed. With the most recent Sheepshaver build running, the Mac's display will sleep but that's all. This is on a 4k 2019 machine running Mojave.
I hope this gets fixed. I like to leave my most-used apps running, and let the Mac sleep when I'm away from it.

Re: Mac won't sleep with SS running
I'm advised that the most recent build of Sheepshaver, of 15 March 2020, has fixed the issue.

Re: Mac won't sleep with SS running
I thought I'd write something myself. A pro at Stack Overflow had a shell script to get idle time (time elapsed since keystroke or mouse movement): set idleTime to do shell script "ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print $NF/1000000000; exit}'" Since I use an Applescript to drive ...

Re: A script to quit Sheepshaver ...
I set the OS9 Energy Saver panel to sleep in 30 minutes, and OSX to sleep in 45 minutes. With Sheepshaver running, the Mac did not sleep.Ronald P. Regensburg wrote:Set your iMac to sleep after more than 30 minutes. I tested it with setting it to 40 minutes.

Re: Mac won't sleep with SS running
Running Sheepshaver 2.5 (2019-05-04) on OS 10.11.6, the Mac will not go to sleep automatically if Sheepshaver is running. I quit Sheepshaver and the Mac then sleeps as it should.
Is there any fix?
Thanks,

Nice custom solution that a lot of people have found useful. Thank you. Where you say it's important to specify the application by exact name: you can get the name of an app on a given machine from its four-character file creator. For example, the creator of WP Mac is "WPC2". While a user ...

Re: MacOSX/OSX/macOS 64-bit build for testing
Tried in conventional 10.6.8 setup running 64-bit kernel. In window mode, Sheepshaver opens, saves, prints. The keyboard setting between the standard US keyboard and the Dvorak keymap is reversed. In fullscreen mode, crashes on open.

Re: Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
Another use for Free Backup -- as nice as Time Machine is, it backs up to an external physical disk. I make good use of that, but for folders of critical material I do backups onto the cloud, using in my case Sync.com. Like Dropbox but gives you 5gb of space free. I made a symbolic link from my sync...

Dialog Director in SheepShaver?
Has anyone used the Dialog Director scripting addition to write Applescripts in SheepShaver? I used Dialog Director quite a bit pre-SheepShaver but, as I try to build a dialog now I get all sorts of strange error messages. I'm using SheepShaver 2.3, build of Oct. 2009, with Mac Classic OS version 8....

Re: Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
Correct -- only one copy of a scripting addition is needed, for any number of Applescripts that use it. Latest versions (and the last versions released for OS 9): Jon's Commands 2.1.2 Akua Sweets 1.4.3 Dialog Director 0.7 Find Document 2.7 Each of my programs has these versions of the additions it n...

Re: Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
Does it do incremental backups or just a complete new dump each time? It will do full backups or different kinds of incremental: it will compare files' modification dates with archive dates: if the modification date is later the file is backed up. A different setting compares origin files' modifica...

Re: Hiding SheepShaver's menubar
This no longer works, as of Yosemite, or at least I can't get it to. The menu bar is hidden, and an Applescript can tell System Events to tell SheepShaver to move the window, but the OS moves it right back.

Re: Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
Exactly. Time Machine is terrific but, as you say, at any point you have an entire volume to work with. I tend to write a few documents at a time and like to have backups of those on hand.

Re: Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
This is terrifically fast on a new machine with Yosemite. I like to keep most of my working files on the SheepShaver volume -- they're there when I need them sort of thing -- but like to back them up to OSX. I've never had a SheepShaver volume crash, but am not sure how I'd rescue files if it did.
