NAME¶
caffeinate - inhibit desktop idleness while a command runs
SYNOPSIS¶
caffeinate COMMAND [ARGUMENT...]
DESCRIPTION¶
Caffeinate runs the given command and prevents the desktop becoming idle while
it is run, hence stops screen savers or power-saving activating even if the
machine is not being used.
It is usually more convenient to use the fully-automatic
caffeine(1); caffeinate may be useful when it is impractical or impossible
to run a program in full-screen mode, or to prevent automatic suspend
kicking in during a long-running unattended command, such as a system
update.
