Subject: [ITP] nosleep 0.1.3-1
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:15:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7qvt77hgb3jgalfk6c8798nbcill8bv5bd@4ax.com> (raw)

I'd like to package and maintain nosleep for Cygwin.  nosleep runs a
command while inhibiting the computer from sleeping or hibernating until
the command finishes executing.  By default nosleep just prevents the
computer from going to sleep during idle periods.  More aggressive options
are available to inhibit sleep or hibernation, but these come with warnings
and an onerous Disclaimer.

nosleep has been written originally for Cygwin, so it's not available in
any Linux distros and needs to be voted on.

Note that nosleep requires libargp, which is currently also in ITP for
Cygwin [1].
