[P1] Power ON or OFF

[Barry Lyden]

Pat,
The screen saver being on is not the same as sleeping.  The presence of 
the screen saver indicates that the mac is NOT sleeping. Sleep mode 
turns off the screen, hard disk, and CPU (I believe - but someone more 
knowledgable than I about mac hardware will have to answer that I'm 
afraid. :-)

BTW - the cron jobs that run at night (daily, weekly, monthly) can be 
edited to run at a time when your iBook isn't likely to be sleeping if 
it's more convenient for you.
