Script for not go to sleep pc
« on: November 13, 2016, 12:19 PM »
After a while my pc goes to sleep and the ventilators stops.
I would like an automated script to modify this time during some tasks without assistance and come back to the standard conditions I have.

Best Regards

Could you not just use the standard power settings?

No. I would like an automated script to modify any of these conditions.

Perhaps exist something done I suppose. Must be.

WTPF.exe <program.exe>

It'll stop the computer from sleeping until the program exits.

Didn't find scripts, but:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/coffee-sc/files/Portable%20Verson/  -  this tool prevents your computer falling asleep when downloading something (portable).
http://dlaa.me/blog/post/9956802  -  this tool prevents your system from falling asleep as long as it is activated (portable). Can be started separately at your own discretion or together with the tasks you want.
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/index.html - either 'LowToSleep' or 'Noise' could help you.

Found one more:
http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/DontSleep  -  this tool prevents your computer to fall asleep, but it can also prevent system shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart at your discretion. Might be handy too. 
The easy path is usually downhill...

Seems very interesting if I can propose the time that program will be running
Running to try

It's a good solution and I think that combined with a bat file may be more useful when we try to control several programs

I think Don't Sleep 3.91 is the very best.
Perhaps for other purposes may serve Insomnia perfectly well.
A great selection !!!!!

This may do what you want:

It's a good program indeed. Control time to be active and keep the session without goes to suspend.
