how to find out the start time of last sleep Is there a command to find the date and time at which a Macintosh computer last entered the sleep mode?
Actually, something like
pmset -g log|grep -e &quot; Sleep  &quot; -e &quot; Wake  &quot;

is what really gives me a clean timeline of sleep/wake events on 10.8.2. powerd does not log anything about it, at least on my system (10.8.2, MacBook Pro Retina 15).
