If such a thing still exists, maybe a list reader knows about it.
Sure, you could do a mouse jiggler, but I'd just have something that periodically calls SetThreadExecutionState (ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED) while an ssh session is active. The remarks say "The system automatically detects activities such as local keyboard or mouse input, server activity, and changing window focus. Activities that are not automatically detected include disk or CPU activity and video display." It seems like ssh keepalive should count as server activity, but apparently not. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
