Leopard was released in October 2007, I think. So there are probably
quite a lot of running Tiger systems. Tiger SBS systems ? Pass. I
upgraded mine to Leopard about 6 months ago.

My guess is that the "simplistic" approach is actually the best
approach, because it hooks the system where needed. Why get involved in
sockets etc. when the OS hook is both direct and effective ?
I posted an update to my original task/script. It might satisfy the
handful (?) of Tiger users that exist. It satisfied me for 2+ years.
I wonder if more than 3 people will download it ? :)
Probably good to prove the current sleep-inhibit tool out in the field
without clouding it with lots of:
Code:
--------------------
if OSX 10.4 do this, but don't do that or the tool will break
because that symbol is only available on 10.5
--------------------
Perhaps I'm overstating the problem.
The Tcl/Expect script (either variant) may also be useful on Linux
systems, in the sense that an existing power monitor daemon might call
it as part of a monitoring process.
But I have no knowledge of how the various Linux distributions organize
power management.
The sockets code I put in the script probably wants some refinement,
it's just a first draft that I think will become useful to me in other
contexts.
