[Sunhelp] Machine Power Saves?

[mike]

Thanks alot,   I'll try this out and see if the machine is still running okay
w/o interuptions for the next week.  I find it odd though that powerd does
power down the monitor and the like,    but freezing the machine after
several days?  hmm.   Oh well.

Thanks again
