clarifying question title

| Jun 8, 2016 at 15:01 | comment | added | questioner56 | @MaxRied, it's okay perhaps nekomatic was asking the obvious question to try to uncover the underlying need for this question - which may in turn spur a new or better worded question. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:57 | comment | added | questioner56 | according to the answer by @redarm (apple.stackexchange.com/questions/239222/…), if the machine hibernated then it should show "Wake from Hibernate" in the log results when running the grep command. So far, I haven't been able to get this result. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:48 | comment | added | bot47 | @nekomatic The "Why do you want this"-question might seem obvious, but SE is about answering questions not about questioning them. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:43 | comment | added | questioner56 | @nekomatic Thank you for your comment. You're right. Macs do save state to disk automatically in sleep, and standby modes. However, my understanding is that during these modes, they do not fully power off the machine. This means there is still some battery usage. So I would like the Mac to fully power off and save state to disk just like a Windows PC. To prevent that unneccessary battery usage during sleep/standby. Hope that's much clearer now. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:37 | comment | added | nekomatic | Portable Macs save state to disk automatically. If you haven't experienced an actual problem with the way it works by default then I suggest letting the OS work the way it's designed to, unless or until you do find a problem. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:34 | comment | added | questioner56 | @Max Ried, the answers in that question highlight hibernatemode 25, which I've already enabled. However, based on the grep command mentioned in my question, my machine still hasn't woken from hibernate. So that question highlights that a hibernate mode exists but doesn't detail how to make it hibernate - perhaps I should say: I couldn't make my machine hibernate after following the answers' instructions. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | questioner56 | @nekomatic Hibernation is a very useful feature. It allows you to save your state (open apps) before powering down. When powering up everything is where you left off. This is the case for a Windows PC. Howeover, for Macs, my understanding is that Sleep or Standby is not the same as Hibernate in that the machine is not fully powered off. Please see Buscar웃's answer on this question for a graph apple.stackexchange.com/questions/126669/… | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 14:18 | comment | added | nekomatic | I guess the obvious question is why you want to fiddle with this rather than letting the OS handle it? | |
