Sleep would be the same as on or off depending if the machine is setup
to wake up for network events. As for determining On or off, ping
would probably be a good way to go.
on pingem(aHost)
try
do shell script "ping -o " & aHost
return true
on error
return false
end try
end pingem
{pingem("localhost"), pingem("Doesnotexist")}
{true, false}
-Mark
Who would be really concerned if he couldn't ping localhost
