There was a post not too long ago from someone who provided two commands to make a PB stay "awake" when the screen is closed - does anyone remember either the commands, or the topic that the commands were posted under?

Not any help here, but back in the OS 9 days, you could cmd-opt-0 to spin down the hard drive, or cmd-opt-o to sleep, or vice versa (can't remember); does anyone have that info for OS X (if any) too?

Try ' leave your PB sleep or turn it off? ' . Type ' man pmset ' in Terminal to manage power settings, and lidwake, stuff like that. But read the thread first

Maybe you're talking about this thread?

That's the one - thanks a lot!

Do you know if this will allow the PB to run even while the lid is shut (for instance, if I have my external monitor attached and want the PB shut)?

Sorry, didn't try that - with that I just avoid to get my PoBo started accidentally. Don't have a Mac around me right now, so I just can't check at the moment.
