How to reset the command: sudo pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0

My macbook 12¨ drained much battery while in sleep. I used the command: sudo pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0

Now it freezes after sleep and needs restarting very often.

How do I reset the command to make things as they were before?

Sleep draining MacBook air battery life Hi,I recently noticed significant (20-50%) of battery life draining while my MacBook air 2013 is asleep. I found an article at Excessive battery drain while sleeping after 10.13.4 update discussing the same problem and that the Terminal code "sudo pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0" will help with this. However the author of this indicates this actually did not help, and that this deactivates Find My Mac while sleeping. I would like to undo this action, can anyone provide some insight as to how to go about doing that so that Find My Mac works normally again? Any suggestions on the battery issue?Current OS: High Sierra 10.13.6Thanks in advance!

'Caffeinate' command not working in macOS mojave... The Terminal command 'caffeinate' isn't working in macOS mojave. I've tried prefixing it with 'sudo' but that doesn't work either. I've also read online that the issue is perhaps to do with security/privacy measures in place by macOS. Also, the only reason why I'm trying to use this command is that the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences aren't keeping the computer from sleeping/logging out. So if someone could offer a suggestion/solution that uses System Preferences to solve the issue, then I wouldn't even need to use the 'caffeinate' command. More info: in Energy Saver, I have Display Sleep set to 2hrs and Computer Sleep set to 2.5hrs but the computer consistently goes to sleep after about 15-20mins. I have unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible," and "Wake up for network access." However, I have reason to believe that the latter isn't working either as the computer always wakes up whenever I turn on my bluetooth speaker, which is annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix any of these issues?
