temporarily stop mac going to sleep

[MacMan988]

Hi, are there any apps that would allow me to temporarily prevent the mac going to sleep but allow the display to go to sleep after the specified time period?

Currently I have Caffeine installed. But it is not exactly I need for this purpose as Caffeine keeps the display on until it is disabled.

you can go into system preferences>energy saver, and select 'never sleep' for the computer, but set a time for the display to sleep.

no 3rd party app needed...
