My G4/450DP running 10.2.6 will deep-sleep if I press the power button or if I select Sleep from the Apple menu, but if I just let it sit there for 30-60 minutes, it only goes into light sleep (e.g. screen goes dark and drives spin down, but the fans stay on).
Aside from fixing the specific problem, how do I tell my Mac to deep sleep via the command line? (e.g. when SSH'ed in from a remote location). Thanks!

osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"' -e 'sleep' -e 'end tell'
But i think this might not work if there is no user logged in graphically.

sudo osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to sleep'
Unfortunately, this only works if the Finder is running (i.e. someone is logged in).

Typically, sleep kills network connections, so you shall have hung yourself, as it were. Nevertheless:
man -k power
leads to:
man pmset
sudo osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to sleep'
Unfortunately, this only works if the Finder is running (i.e. someone is logged in).

Which won't do what the OP wants.

Your SSH connection dies, yes, but that's not a problem.
man -k power
leads to:
man pmset
Which is a command line utility for setting power management settings. It's identical to the energy saver preference pane in functionality. And you can't use it to tell the machine to sleep.

[snip] Also, any tips on how to fix the sleeping problem? The Energy Saver prefs are set with Separate Sleep for display un-checked and Spin Down HDs unchecked.
Thanks!

sudo osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to sleep'
this only works if the Finder is running (i.e. someone is logged in). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does this mean logged in graphically, or would my SSH login qualify? Is there any way I can trigger a graphical login from my SSH session and then tell it to go to sleep?

No, the Finder needs to be running, which it doesn't if no one is logged in 'grapichally'

I don't think so no.

you can send a sleep appleevent to the loginwindow process but you can't talk to it via applescript, so writing a small program that does that might work. However i seem to recall that sending applevents from a process not run by a graphically logged in user is kinda icky.
