Hello,

I have written an Automator script to backup my mac to a server.

The script starts up automatically every 3 hours so it may happen that it is started up when the system is going in stand by or is shutting down.

In this case I get an error.

Is there a way to stop in Automator or in a Shell script, the system from going in stand by....?

Thanks a lot,

Daniele
