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... +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Caffeine-start-stop.scpt.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8586| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
