System commands stopped working (sleep etc.)?

[volante]

It is very strange, but suddenly all system commands stopped working when using Alfred. "Sleep" is like my most used command and it is quite frustrating that it all stopped working. 

 

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? I tried both the old version and today v. 2.0 too, same problems. 

 

Have I accidentally changed some system permissions that prohibits Alfred to execute these commands? :/

 

Of course I have already checked Alfred preferences, the System commands are all enabled/activated and should work.

 

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

If you launch Console.app and keep an eye on any error messages when you type the command, you might discover the cause. Post what Console tells you and we'll have a look

I get no messages at all when typing the command However, these appear from time to time without doing anything at all, but perhaps it's normal (no idea what it means).

It's so strange. I think it stopped working after I tried to install OpenSceneGraph crap and setting that up with the Terminal. Maybe some command there ruined something system essential. 

 

Thanks for taking time

 

Edit: I solved it! My fear was justified, it stopped working last week when I altered a certain file through the terminal. Now when I deleted everything in that file and restored it to normal, Alfred works like a charm again
