CLI API

It is possibe to start wakepy from the command line either by running

wakepy

or

python -m wakepy

This starts wakepy in the default mode (-k), which corresponds to a call to keep.running with default arguments. The available options are:

wakepy [-h | -r | -p]

options:
  -h, --help               show this help message and exit
  -r, --keep-running       Keep programs running; inhibit automatic sleep/suspend. This
                           is used as a default if no modes are selected.
  -p, --keep-presenting    Presentation mode; inhibit automatic sleep, screensaver and
                           screenlock

Command “wakepy” not found?

If you just installed wakepy, you might need to restart shell / terminal application to make added to the PATH.

Changed in version 0.10.0: Renamed -k to -r and --presentation to --keep-presenting (wakepy/#355).
