Wake Assist is a free utility (which runs as a daemon) that aims to fix a common problem that occurs on some Macs: the Mac is sleeping and when the user attempts to wake it, it rolls over and hits the snooze button. On our Macbook Pro for instance, we often open the lid after it has been sleeping only to receive a black screen and a still sleeping Mac.The Wake Assist download comes with a .pkg for installing the daemon and an uninstall shell script should you choose to remove the utility. The daemon works by sending mouse clicks to the OS to show/hide the Apple menu when you attempt to wake the computer if it detects no user activity first.
