close, but not quite. /var/run/powerd-inhibit-suspend/ is a directory. > > Google finds this: > http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.laptop.org/msg22607.html > google is a good reference. when all else fails, read the comments in /usr/bin/powerd. overly verbose, perhaps, but hopefully complete. :-) there's no good way to lengthen the timeout temporarily. to disable, create a file in /var/run/powerd-inhibit-suspend/ whose name is the pid of the session. i.e., in olpc-session, do: touch /var/run/powerd-inhibit-suspend/$$ there's no need to clean up, so the exec at the end of olpc-session isn't a problem. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
