Install SleepWatcher using Homebrew:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local
brew update
brew install sleepwatcher
Start the SleepWatcher service:
sudo brew services start sleepwatcher
Create a Sleep and Wakeup file in your home directory:
touch ~/.sleep && chmod 744 ~/.sleep
touch ~/.wakeup && chmod 744 ~/.wakeup
Put the following script into ~/.sleep to disable the wifi adapter:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/networksetup setairportpower en0 off
touch /tmp/sleep.log
cat > /tmp/sleep.log
echo "Sleeping: `date`" >> /tmp/sleep.log
echo `/usr/sbin/networksetup getairportpower en0` >> /tmp/sleep.log
Put the following script into ~/.wakeup to re-enable the wifi adapter:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/sbin/networksetup setairportpower en0 on
echo "Waking Up: `date`" >> /tmp/sleep.log
echo `/usr/sbin/networksetup getairportpower en0` >> /tmp/sleep.log
You can see the most recent sleep/wake cycle in the /tmp/sleep.log file:
cat /tmp/sleep.log
pmset -g log
pmset -g assertions
pmset -g sched
syslog | grep -i "Wake reason"
