Programmatically put a Mac into sleep

问题

I can't find any instructions how to put a Mac programmatically into sleep mode (in Objective-C). I'm sure it should be only one line, but could you give me a hint?

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <CoreServices/CoreServices.h>
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

SendAppleEventToSystemProcess(kAESleep);

OSStatus SendAppleEventToSystemProcess(AEEventID EventToSend)
{
    AEAddressDesc targetDesc;
    static const ProcessSerialNumber kPSNOfSystemProcess = { 0, kSystemProcess };
    AppleEvent eventReply = {typeNull, NULL};
    AppleEvent appleEventToSend = {typeNull, NULL};

    OSStatus error = noErr;

    error = AECreateDesc(typeProcessSerialNumber, &kPSNOfSystemProcess, 
                                            sizeof(kPSNOfSystemProcess), &targetDesc);

    if (error != noErr)
    {
        return(error);
    }

    error = AECreateAppleEvent(kCoreEventClass, EventToSend, &targetDesc, 
                   kAutoGenerateReturnID, kAnyTransactionID, &appleEventToSend);

    AEDisposeDesc(&targetDesc);
    if (error != noErr)
    {
        return(error);
    }

    error = AESend(&appleEventToSend, &eventReply, kAENoReply, 
                  kAENormalPriority, kAEDefaultTimeout, NULL, NULL);

    AEDisposeDesc(&appleEventToSend);
    if (error != noErr)
    {
        return(error);
    }

    AEDisposeDesc(&eventReply);

    return(error); 
}

You can also use scripting bridge. Draft code is

SystemEventsApplication *systemEvents = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.systemevents"];
[systemEvents sleep];

Tom is correct. The AE methods fail if the display is sleeping. pmset sleepnow works 100%.

NSTask  *pmsetTask = [[NSTask alloc] init];
pmsetTask.launchPath = @"/usr/bin/pmset";
pmsetTask.arguments = @[@"sleepnow"];
[pmsetTask launch];

回答4:

You can use AppleScript

NSAppleScript *script = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"tell application \"System Events\" to sleep"];
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
[script executeAndReturnError:&errorInfo];
[script release];

I found that running pmset sleepnow worked during a screensaver, while the first two answers did not.

回答6:

Just in case someone is curious how pmset sleepnow actually works - it uses IOPMSleepSystem API from the Power Management section of the IOKit framework. You can check this via examining the pmset.c source code (link from macOS 10.13.3).

So instead of calling pmset you can request sleep via the following snippet:

#include <IOKit/pwr_mgt/IOPMLib.h>

void SleepNow()
{
    io_connect_t fb = IOPMFindPowerManagement(MACH_PORT_NULL);
    if (fb != MACH_PORT_NULL)
    {
        IOPMSleepSystem(fb);
        IOServiceClose(fb);
    }
}

Don't be scared by the caller must be root or the console user remark in the documentation since it appears to be working for any standard logged in user.

By following the source code, it looks like it calls into IOUserClient::clientHasPrivilege with kIOClientPrivilegeLocalUser which ends up checking if the caller is present in the IOConsoleUsers array in the root IORegistry entry, and apparently currently logged in user is always present there.
