I have a MacBookAir3,2 (late 2010) running 10.9.3.
I want to be able to force the machine to immediately go into "hibernation" mode, but it seems impossible.
The usual answer that I have seen is
sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 1 hibernatemode 25
but when I sleep/wake my Mac with those settings, I am _not_ asked for my FileVault password.
Additional Info:
* Power Nap is disabled for Battery and A/C power
* Fast User Switching is disabled
* Preferences » Security & Privacy » General » Require Password is set to “immediately”
I have run sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 1 hibernatemode 25 autopoweroff 1 autopoweroffdelay 14400 standby 1
but note that 'autopoweroff' and 'autopoweroffdelay' are both absent from my pmset
settings:
System-wide power settings:
DestroyFVKeyOnStandby 1
Active Profiles:
Battery Power -1
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:
standbydelay 0
standby 1
womp 1
halfdim 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
darkwakes 0
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 10
sleep 180
hibernatemode 25
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
acwake 0
lidwake 1
Putting the computer to sleep, either by closing the lid or sudo shutdown -s now
and then waking it back up within a minutes or two does not require me to enter my FileVault password, just my regular account password.
Is there a way for me to _force_ the Mac to hibernate?
