If you want to do it for battery only, use the "-b" option. Charger (wall power) only, use "-c". Or UPS is "-u".<br/><br/>Just a note about #3: If you put your computer to sleep, it will start writing the RAM to disk. If you try to wake it up while doing that, it won't respond. Wait a minute, or until the power light starts blinking on the front of your laptop. Once it blinks, you can press the power button or open the lid to wake it back up. The man page for pmset isn’t too bad, but I am confused as I don’t have a clue what mode “5″ is:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X

Where X is:
0 : NO hibernate - does not write RAM to disk and power off EVER
1 : QUICK hibernate - writes RAM to disk and powers off IMMEDIATELY
2 : LAST RESORT hibernate - keeps power to RAM until battery is low, then writes to disk as a last resort to save your data
3 : HYBRID hibernate - writes RAM to disk right away, then leaves RAM powered until battery is low

The “-a” in the pmset command means it will apply this setting to ALL power profiles. If you want to do it for battery only, use the “-b” option. Charger (wall power) only, use “-c”. Or UPS is “-u”.

I don't know what exactly would mode 5 do though. Will it empty the RAM, why is it better? Great tip. I don’t know what exactly would mode 5 do though. Will it empty the RAM, why is it better?
