Yeah the apple one. This worked when I was using Frontrow, but after installing XBMC it doesn't work anymore. That's why I'm asking.

PLenty of the skins have the sleep function. Back on the main menu, usually goto the settings and press down then you get some options to restart, suspend, quit etc.

As it turns out that after installing 10.6.8 I am now having issues with my iMac and Mac-Mini going to sleep. I have diagnosed this with Applecare. I created a test account and was able to get the computer to go to sleep. It appears that running XBMC under 10.6.8 is preventing the computer from going to sleep as well. I need to do some more investigation on this issue. Stay tuned...

Just a follow up. My Mac-Mini now does go to sleep after I did a PRAM reset (reset while holding down command-option P-R; release when the second bong is heard). The issue that my iMac is having has nothing to do with 10.6.8. It seems that when Apple does a update if there is anything that might be messed up the computer will get exposed as a problem, which might be what is happening with me.

It looks like my issue with my iMac not going to sleep has seemed to resolve itself. Not sure what was going on but my iMac now goes to sleep without any issues.
