Control Strip Sleep is a Control Strip module that is designed as a direct replacement for Apple's Sleep Now module. Contrary to its name, if AppleTalk is active, you will get a dialog asking if you are sure that you want the PowerBook to go to sleep. The Control Strip Sleep module allows you to bypass this dialog.
Installing Control Strip Sleep
To install the Control Strip Sleep module, it must be placed in the Control Strip folder inside your system folder. Unfortunately, the Apple system software (System 7.1) isn't smart enough to automatically realize that it should go there, so you must drag it to this folder manually.
1) Open your System folder.
2) Copy the Control Strip Sleep file to the Control Strip Folder in your System folder.
3) Restart your computer.
Configuring Control Strip Sleep
When the Control Strip first appears after restarting, the Sleep module should be displayed. This module will display one of two icons: One with an exclamation point ("zZ!"), which indicates that AppleTalk will be bypassed, and one with a question mark ("zZ?"), which indicates that the dialog will appear if you attempt to sleep.
 
You can select whether or not AppleTalk should be bypassed by using the popup menu associated with this module. To make the menu appear, click down anywhere on the clock portion of the Control Strip, and it will pop up.
 
Override AppleTalk
If selected, the PowerBook will go immediately to sleep, without the annoying dialog asking if you are sure you want to sleep.
Go to sleep now
When you select this, the PowerBook will go to sleep. If AppleTalk is active, and you haven't selected Override AppleTalk, you will be prompted with a dialog.
