When I saw the command and that it exists in /usr/bin/ I went to my MacMini running MacOS Sonoma 14.0 which I hadn't messed with in a few days and I discovered that the MacMini had fell asleep. :~ Did you update to Sonoma and this is a "new" feature -- sleeping? Just curious if that was why you searched out the caffeinate functionality.
