Power management settings

In order to leave processess running in background under MacOS while you don't use your computer you must configure some power management settings. This is needed because MacOS will sleep the computer if the keyboard or mouse are not used after a time.
You can configure this from the graphical interface, but if you need to setup this to a remote computer (or if you think that using GUIs is just not geek enough for you) the commands to do this are:

pmset sleep 0
pmset disksleep 0

To see the current settings:

pmset -g
