VERSION

This document describes version 0.010 of App::ScreensaverUtils (from Perl distribution App-ScreensaverUtils), released on 2020-11-22.

DESCRIPTION

This distribution contains the following CLI utilities related to screensaver:

FUNCTIONS

get_screensaver_info

Usage:

 get_screensaver_info(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Get screensaver information (detected screensaver, is_active, is_enabled, timeout).

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • screensaver => str

    Explicitly set screensaver program to use.

    The default, when left undef, is to detect what screensaver is running,

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

prevent_screensaver_activated_until_interrupted

Usage:

 prevent_screensaver_activated_until_interrupted() -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Prevent screensaver activated until interrupted.

Uses Proc::Govern to run sleep infinity, with the option `no-screensaver' to instruct Proc::Govern to regularly simulate user activity, thus preventing the screensaver from ever activating. To stop preventing screensaver from activating, press Ctrl-C.

Available in CLI with two shorter aliases: pause-screensaver and noss.

This function is not exported.

No arguments.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error).

prevent_screensaver_activated_while

Usage:

 prevent_screensaver_activated_while(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Prevent screensaver activated while running a command.

For more options when running command, e.g. timeout, load control, autorestart, use the module or its CLI govproc directly.
