Shutting down, or going to sleep?


Generally, the Mac will go to sleep when the screen turns off.


If you are connected to power, there is a setting that will keep the Mac awake while plugged into power.


You can extend the period of time before the screen turns off.


You can run the /usr/bin/caffeinate command to keep the Mac awake.


You can download and use the Amphetamine app to keep your Mac awake.
