I don’t think this works:

sudo pmset -a hibernatefile /Volumes/Data/var/vm/sleepimage

man pmset says the following about “hibernatefile”: hibernatefile – change hibernation image file location. Image may only be located on the root volume. Please use caution. (value = path)

Strangely, despite this warning, pmset allows you to set the sleepimage to another volume. I have just tried it for the first time, what happened was that the system turned off, but did not create a sleep image on my 2nd hard disk. I am not sure if by root volume they mean partition or physical disk. It sounds like they mean partition. In any case, I have 2 hard drives in my MacBook Pro and tried to move the sleepimage to the other one, and it didn’t work.

Is there a similar way to remove window shadows entirely from Leopard?

Thanks a million for the drop-shadow killer script. This was one of those Leopard “enhancements” that’s driven me nuts since upgrading!
