Winsomnia-noPython

Usage

Inspired by Winsomnia-ssh but works without python (just uses bash ans wsl). Usage

  • Set Powershell path in winsomnia-nopython.sh
  • Set (absolute WSL) path to keep_awake.ps1 in winsomnia-nopython.sh
  • Add the line . /path/to/winsomnia-nopython.sh to your ~/.bashrc or other shell initialization script. The . prefix is crucial.

How does it work?

Whenever a new shell is initialized, the script checks if it is inside an ssh session. If that is the case, a Powershell child process is started that sets the SetThreadExecutionState to ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED. This state is active until the windows thread exits. Fortunately, the windows process will be killed when the corresponding linux process is killed (see here), which is done using the trap ... EXIT.
