Caffeinated is a small utility which prevents the system from entering an idle state by using systemd logind and Wayland idle inhibitors. It can be run either in the foreground or as a daemon.
Caffeinated requires the following software to build:
- C compiler
- GNU make
- libsystemd or libelogind
- libbsd
Additionally, Wayland idle inhibit support requires:
- wayland-client
- wayland-protocols
Run the following command to build and install caffeinated (as root if necessary):
$ make clean install
Add SDBUS=elogind to use libelogind instead of libsystemd:
$ make SDBUS=elogind clean install
Wayland idle inhibit support can be enabled with WAYLAND=1:
$ make WAYLAND=1 clean install
See man caffeinated for details.
