This worked. Thank you Joe.
I still used the caffeinate command since 'pmset noidle' is deprecated but
I removed the space between & and >.

If you run caffinate on 10.9, it runs in the foreground. Same with “pmset
noidle” command. You have to take some measures to get it to run in the
background on the client. This took a little fooling around on my part before
I got it right.
Here’s what I use in my bacular-dir.conf:

Hello Joe,
Thanks for the information. I will take a careful look at it, but for the
moment don't promise anything. Changing APIs from one version to
another is *very* annoying. It makes programming harder. Hopefully
they will stabilize it in 10.7.
Best regards,

There may be a better solution, but I've been using a script of my own
devising to wake and keep (at least Windows) machines awake during a
backup. I didn't know if there was a client-side API to call to keep the
machine awake, so I implemented mine as repeated WoL packets (say, once
every 5 minut
PS. (I just did a BIOS update on one of our old SuperMicros)
To make it more fun there's the level of ACPI support in your kernel,
with whatever fixes and patches you distro vendor backported to it and
whatever compile-time options they chose to not enable -- e.g. RedHat is
notorious for shipping

Sun Fire v20 and x4100 didn't report their power state correctly and
wouldn't reliably wake up. I'm not sure about our old SuperMicros -- but

I no very little about programming, but here’s the documentation for creating
and releasing a power assertion on OS X. There is a call “IOPMAssertionCreate”
which is available in 10.5, then deprecated in 10.6. Seems it was replaced
with “IOPMAssertionCreateWithDescription” which came in

Last time I tried I couldn't even get our older machines to WOL. I
suspect whatever solutions there are would only work on some (perhaps
many) recent

Hello,
The next Windows version to be released by Bacula Systems roughly in
June -- it will
be version 8.0 tells the Windows OS not to suspend the SD during a job.
For OSX, I don't know if an OS API exists to do this -- on Linux, it
doesn't seem
to have one, which means that it is not so simple.

Sorry, turns out there was an error in my previous suggestion and “caffeinate”
was not actually started on the client. Here’s an updated (and tested) line
that does keep a 10.8 or later mac awake for 3600 seconds:
Client Run Before Job = "bash -c \"/usr/bin/caffeinate -i -t 3600 &> /dev/null

For those that are backing up OS X clients, you may have noticed that 10.8

Even if you issue a WOL packet to start a backup, they still fall back asleep
