Node module which prevents computer from going into automatic sleep. Currently supports windows and mac osx.
npm install stay-awake
var stayAwake = require('stay-awake');
// do something not so important
// prevent auto sleep
stayAwake.prevent(function(err, data) {
// handle error
console.log('%d routines are preventing sleep', data);
});
// do something which needs the computer to stay awake
// do something async
doAsync(function() {
// do something
stayAwake.prevent(function() {}); // second call
// do long processing
stayAwake.allow(function() {}); // this subroutine no longer needs to prevent sleep
});
// once done allow the computer to sleep as configured in power management
stayAwake.allow(function(err, data) {
if(data == 0) {
console.log('Will sleep automatically');
}
}); // allow
