caffeine

===============================================================================

Run this to prevent your PC screen from locking. It does this by simulating
that you've used the F15 key once every 59 seconds.

Double-click the icon to temporarily disable Caffeine, and permit your screen
to lock.

Under Win98: a key down and then a key up event is simulated


Under Win2000/XP: a key up event is simulated

The additional event is required under Windows 98, otherwise the screen will
still lock.

Command-line options:

caffeine.exe -startoff Application starts inactive


caffeine.exe -exitafter:xxx Application will terminate after xxx minutes
caffeine.exe -activefor:xxx Application will become inactive after
xxx minutes
caffeine.exe -inactivefor:xxx Application will become active after

application
caffeine.exe -appon Makes the current running instance of the
application active
caffeine.exe -appoff Makes the current running instance of the

caffeine.exe -apptoggle Toggles the state of the current running instance of
