Dear Danco,
I have something for you. It works on my mac, 10.5.8, doesn't work
extremely solid, but for this we'll have to wait on Gharris999 work.
The attached AppleScript accepts arguments: "on" (on forever), "off",
"quit" (exits Caffeine). It also accepts "on <number of seconds>" after
which Caffeine resets to off (this is a feature of Caffeine.)
So you can make a few commands as you like.
The AScript is attached below. Here is the source:
Code:
--------------------
on run argv
set Action to ""
set Howlong to 0
if the (count of argv) is not 0 then
set Action to item 1 of argv
if ((Action is "on") and (the (count of argv) is greater than
1)) then
try
set Howlong to item 2 of argv as integer
end try
end if
end if
if Action is "off" then
tell application "Caffeine" to turn off
else if Action is "on" then
if Howlong is not 0 then
tell application "Caffeine" to turn on for Howlong
else
tell application "Caffeine" to turn on
end if
else if Action is "quit" then
tell application "Caffeine" to quit
else
tell application "System Events"
activate
display dialog "Unknown command." buttons {"Ok"} with
icon stop
end tell
end if
end run
--------------------
Get the attached zip and unzip it in /Applications/Utilities. **adapt
the path** if you don't like this location.
>From Terminal.app, check you can see your favorite coffee cup when you
type:
/usr/bin/osascript /Applications/Utilities/Caffeine-start-stop.scpt on
10 <return>
Then create a custom command in srvrPowerControl exactly as this (don't
add quotes, to my surprise the path seems indeed case insensitive but
this one is the true one.)
Custom command: Caffeine On
Command: /usr/bin/osascript
/Applications/Utilities/Caffeine-start-stop.scpt on 10
Then stop and start SBS to test from a clean slate.
Click "Caffeine On" and see the magic. After 10 seconds, the cup
empties.
'Download'
(http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/SrvrPowerCtrl_beta.zip) the
plugin version Gordon has updated today in case of trouble.
If you want to edit the script, find the application named "Script
Editor".
Now. Don't tell me it doesn't work...
