my linux box goes to sleep!


This might be a problem with my UPS but I thought maybe it could be an operating system setting that is putting my pc to sleep after several hours. Any comments?

Running Redhat 9. I don't know how to wake it up yet so I have to reboot it each time.

Any suggestions???

Thanks!

-Mike

try the keyboard and mouse?

Um....how else might I try to wake the computer up? Making it breakfast in bed and blowing it some kisses? Yes I tried the mouse and keyboard. I hit every key on the keyboard and used every combination of keys I know of. And I shook the mouse and pushed on its little buttons.

All sarcasm aside, I will look into that monitor setting you mentioned. Thanks for the info!
