From afea49c6b35b32b566338c5851fd4590a9f18db9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Wood Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2025 06:17:16 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] caffeinate: add -d and fix -i example (#16899) * Update caffeinate.md Add -d command to prevent display from sleeping (most useful one to know imo). Remove `-s` because it functions like `-i` except that it only works while on AC power Better description for `-i` * Add colon to end of example --- pages/osx/caffeinate.md | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/pages/osx/caffeinate.md b/pages/osx/caffeinate.md index 8129ad1cf7..a99317c57a 100644 --- a/pages/osx/caffeinate.md +++ b/pages/osx/caffeinate.md @@ -3,22 +3,22 @@ > Prevent macOS from sleeping. > More information: . +- Prevent the display from sleeping: + +`caffeinate -d` + - Prevent from sleeping for 1 hour (3600 seconds): `caffeinate -u -t {{3600}}` -- Prevent from sleeping until a command completes: +- Fork a process, exec "make" in it, and prevent sleep as long as that process is running: -`caffeinate -s "{{command}}"` +`caffeinate -i make` - Prevent from sleeping until a process with the specified PID completes: `caffeinate -w {{pid}}` -- Prevent from sleeping (use `` to exit): - -`caffeinate -i` - - Prevent disk from sleeping (use `` to exit): `caffeinate -m`
