My Event Did Not Trigger
If an event is not being triggered, first check the event's history.
The event’s history is accessible via the command line tool pmctl
and via AppleScript; use the AppleScript below to showing event history and additional information.
tell application "Power Manager"
set myEventName to "Evening" -- change to the event name
tell the Event Store
properties of (history for event with id (active ID of event myEventName))
end tell
end tell
Use the Console.app application to view Power Manager’s log. Look for lines mentioning events being triggered and performed. Each time an event is performed, it is noted in the log.
Potential Causes
The event may be triggered but not performed. This can happen if conditions block the performance, or if the actions encounter a problem while performing. Blocking conditions and action errors are both noted in the log.
