As a general aside, I don't see why the fact that it is not interactive counts against the feature. If wipe was interactive, there would be no risk of the machine suspending due to inactivity. If it is not interactive, then the lack of mouse or keyboard movement may fool the computer into thinking that the machine is not being used. It is precisely the second scenario that I see the inhibit function as designed to prevent.
