mycaffeine

a little linux tools that moves your pointer regularly to avoid the automatic screen lock on a computer you can't configure. it doesn't need root.

how to install

you may want to copy the file /mycaffeine in the $PATH or somewhere you can run it quickly. you don't need to, it's just a standalone script.

how to use

these commands assume you copied ./mycaffeine

how to start it

$ mycaffeine start

how to stop it

$ mycaffeine stop

how to check if it's currently running

there is no command to do that, but you can just start it or stop it again to be sure it's running.

how to specify the interval

change the value of the variable $DELAY in the script.

how to check if it works

change the delay to 1 seconds and see if your pointer moves lol

what if it doesn't work

i have no idea
