Can computer sleep while AutoIt script is running?

[simonc8]

I have a script which executes sleep for a couple of hours then carries out instructions. Does the running AutoIt script prevent the computer from entering sleep mode during this time? If not, is there something I can add to the AutoIt script to keep the computer awake?

Grateful for advice.

Yes, it does
By the way, if your application waits for "something", than you could work on that instead of sleep for that amount of time (which could probably change?).

Many thanks for the advice. That's what I hoped.

you do know that you can modify whether or not the compy goes into sleep with the control panel ?  likewise for the screen ?
