Hi, I'm used to Windows 7 not sleeping the computer if there's an application running for example a BitTorrent App.
I expected the same with BOINC, but instead it went into sleep.
How can I disable this without disabling sleep altogether?

I had a scheduler running under Windows that would put the computer to sleep, but should only do that when the computer was idle. That didn't work.

I only want the computer to go to sleep on week days, after 7am, when BOINC has stopped due to time-of-day (and thus the computer is idle).

I don't want it to go to sleep during the weekend, when override says BOINC can continue, however, the sleep scheduler also put the computer to sleep here, despite all my settings for "only when the computer is idle".

So I still have to go back and figure it out.
