I want to add a sleep button to the login screen for OSX. It is to make it easier for my family members to sleep the iMac G4 17" when they are done. I know there is a keystoke combo for this, but they are already used to the OS9 method of either using the mouse or hitting the power button (which is now buried in back).

Is it even possible to add the sleep button to the login is screen?

Thanks,
Gene

Just press the power button once on the computer. I've been doing that since I started using OS X with more than 1 user.
click one

Pushing the power button on a iMac G4 means reaching around to the back of the unit, not such a great idea for my smaller kids.

What I was looking for (based upon the description of this forum) was a slick way to modify the login screen.

I'll wait to see if someone has such a solution.

By pressing my MDD or Studio Display power button work...

Or just wait for the system to sleep itself (after did a energy setting)

Yes that can be a problem... Apple should add that.

The studio display button works...as long as the person at the computer knows what it does.
