But I would never have guessed that was what -a did from the manual reference.

#CAFFEINATEME FULL#

It was not relevant when I tried, as I used drag and drop to put the application on the line in Terminal, so I was using the full path. I hope you weren't offended that I had not mentioned you by name I did indicate that the solution was not mine, and where it could be found. Yes, indeed, many thanks David (and Wes). Method (b) is tidier, as it doesn't have another visible support application running, doesn't require the user to change how they launch the target application, and allows for applications which get launched via methods such as opening a document. The shell script checks to see whether the target application is running, and if so, executes the caffeinate command above to keep the system from going idle while the target application is running. (b) Write a shell script and associated launchd script which is set up as a LaunchAgent to run on a periodic basis. The script application would remain running unti you quit the target application. (a) Rather than launching the target application directly, write an AppleScript or Automator script saved as an application, which launches the target application via caffeinate.

(assuming ThisApp is the name of an application in your Applications folder).Īs to the question of how to have caffeinate always take effect while a target application is running: two general methods occur to me. Thus the shortest form of the whole command would be: You can also compress the options slightly, specifying -W and -a in a single parameter.

app suffix (but it will work either way). If you use the -a option, the next parameter is interpreted as the name of an application, and the open command looks for the application in standard places like the Applications folder. The correct syntax here would typically be: It won't look in other folders, such as the Applications folder. The open command expects to find ThisApp.app in the current folder. If you open an application using this form: (If a document is specified, the standard LaunchServices mechanisms are used to determine the default application to launch.) Without -a, the next parameter is interpreted as the pathname of a folder, document or application to open. The -a argument to the open command means "the next parameter is the name of the application to open". Thanks to a hint from Wes Groleau we spotted the -W argument to the open command, which tells the open command to wait until the application quits before the open command itself terminates. I participated in the aforementioned discussion on and supplied the details on how the command syntax worked. Also, if you set the shell script to open a dummy application (something whose only function is to stay open until manually quit, which can easily be done by an Applescript) you would have something that, when run, would keep the machine awake until the dummy program was quit, independent of whatever else was running. If ThisApp is in the Applications folder, this is all that is needed, otherwise you have to specify the full path.Īs for your last question, I suggest a shell script, but I have not yet tried it. Keeps the open command alive (and so caffeinate will be active) until you quit ThisApp. Is not good enough, as the open command does its job and then quits, so caffeinate is no longer kept open. The Unix command 'open' can be used to open a Mac program (and can be applied without problems even if the Mac program is already running). The point is that caffeinate, as a Unix command, can't take a Mac application as argument, but only another Unix program. It can also be found elsewhere, but without explanation. Using nginx as a reverse proxy for speedy App Engine development.I have the answer to this, supplied by folks on the Usenet group. Caffeinated was heavily inspired by Caffeine for OS X by Lighthead Software, and uses free icons designed by VisualPharm.
