Hey, I am looking for a way to temporarily block the computer from going to sleep, I already have a cron job setup to check every 5 minutes to check their is an active ssh connection. I don't want my computer to sleep when I am using it remotely. But want to save eremotlynergy when I am away. I tried using

Code: Select all

systemd-inhibit --mode block --what=sleep sleep 600

and it blocked systemdevil from sleeping. But after the block ended powerdevil never tried to sleep again. Is there anyway I can temporary disable sleep programmically.

Code: Select all

##! /bin/bash
kwriteconfig5 --file powermanagementprofilesrc --group AC --group SuspendSession --key suspendType 0
kwriteconfig5 --file powermanagementprofilesrc --group AC --group SuspendSession --key idleTime 86400000
qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement refreshStatus

this seems to "disable" it quite nicely, I did not want to stop screen dimming however any better ways would be appreciated as I really have no idea what I am doing other then google-fu and tinkinering
