Waking your computer from sleep

To wake the computer from sleep, press any key on the keyboard except
Caps Lock. (It may take a moment or two for the computer to awaken.) The
documents and application programs you had open when the computer went
to sleep are still open and unsaved changes are preserved.

Accessing a sleeping computer over a network

If your computer is being used as a server, other users can still access it over
a network while it is asleep if you set server options that prevent the hard disk
from going to sleep. (You can set server options using the Preferences menu
when the Energy Saver control panel is displayed.) The network connection
does not have to be established before the computer goes to sleep. However, if
you’ve chosen to have your computer shut itself down rather than go to sleep,
other users will not be able to access it over a network after the computer
shuts itself down.

Scheduling automatic startup and shutdown

You can set your computer to start up and shut down at specified times using
the Energy Saver control panel. For information on using the Energy Saver
control panel, see the “Saving Energy” topic area of Macintosh Guide,
available in the Guide (h) menu. If there’s an unsaved document open on
your desktop when the scheduled shutdown time occurs, it is saved
automatically for you in a folder on your startup disk. The folder is named
with the date and time of the shutdown.
