Hmm... It is still not sleeping although the code you provided works. I stop writing files 10 minutes before it is meant to sleep. One thing is I am still reading from a file that is mmap'd so I al accessing memory rather than using the File Manager. Would this disrupt things? I suppose I could just halt my app completely... Would reading an mmap'd file disrupt the idle time for the OS?
