To be honest, I don't think i've really slept my cMP 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) lately, and recently updated it to macOS Sierra.

The problem is, it won't go to sleep after the set idle time. The screen does go to sleep, but the MP won't ever enter sleep mode. If I choose to manually sleep it, it works. But auto-sleep doesn't.

But, it also takes a long time to sleep when manual sleep is started...over a minute. Same for shutdown. Even shutdown from the a fresh start and at the login screen (not logged in yet), if I choose shutdown, it takes just over a minute to shut down. The screen goes black quickly, but about a minute later it actually turns off.

Where can I look to see what is going on? I found some older articles on how to find sleep events, but apparently they are not relevant any more or the log file locations have changed.

Ideas?
