Yes. :)

That would be the way I'd go, if I knew how.

I think it could be done with a small amount of some script or other,
no telnet.

Expect itself will allow us to make direct use use of socket in the
underlying Tcl, rather than telnet. It also has a built in timeout.
So I'll try and have a look at it over the next week, while the script
and Expect remain fresh in my mind.

Just to confirm that I understand your proposal, if I am working from
the keyboard I would get into the CLI and then type:

reallypreventstandby isidle

To which the server would respond:

a) With plug-in installed

Either:

reallypreventstandby isidle 0

or:

reallypreventstandby isidle 1

b) Without plug-in installed

reallypreventstandby isidle

I checked that last one.
