SleepWatcher is a command line tool (daemon) for Mac OS X that monitors sleep, wakeup and idleness of a Mac.
It can be used to execute a Unix command when the Mac or the display of the Mac goes to sleep mode or wakes up or after a given time without user interaction. It also can send the Mac to sleep mode or retrieve the time since last user activity.

A StartupItem, sample start and sleep scripts and the source code for sleepwatcher are included in the download.
A little bit knowledge of the Unix command line is required to benefit from this software.

What's New:
SleepWatcher is now a Universal binary,
/etc/rc.sleep and /etc/rc.wakeup now handle user names with more than eight characters correctly.
