In this situation many running processes are ignored; sometimes this can be problem if you want the process to keep running while you are away. Here to help out Mac users in this department is an app called Wimoweh.
Wimoweh is a free to use desktop utility for computers running the Mac OS. The function of the application is to let you know which applications are preventing your Mac from going into the Sleep state. The app also lets you select new applications that prevent your Mac from going into the sleep state.
You start by downloading the application’s setup sized at nearly 0.5 MB. When the app is installed, you will find a new icon placed on your computer’s menu bar.
