3 years ago Does teleport keep a persistent connection to the machine? I looked at this a bit today (while building #65) and it didn't seem like there was a persistent control channel that could be used to send wakeup events. If not then maybe something like the below would work?
[[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(screensDidWake:) name:NSWorkspaceScreensDidWakeNotification object:nil];
- (void)screensDidWake:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSLog(@"waking screens");
NSArray *hosts = [[TPHostsManager defaultManager] hostsWithState:TPHostOnlineState];
for (TPRemoteHost *host in hosts) {
BOOL isLocalHost = [host isEqual:[TPLocalHost localHost]];
if (!isLocalHost) {
//init a connection and send an event that triggers wakeUpScreen on the target machine
}
}
}This would only wake all the screens at the same time though, so you'd also want something on a timer to keep sending those wakeup events to the clients every n seconds. You could also then implement an observer for sleeping:
[[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(screensDidSleep:) name:NSWorkspaceScreensDidSleepNotification object:nil];
- (void)screensDidSleep:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSLog(@"sleeping screens");
// disable the wake loop and then send sleep commands to every client
}A sleepScreen like this would work as a new method on TPLocalHost:
- (void)sleepScreen {
io_registry_entry_t entry = IORegistryEntryFromPath(kIOMasterPortDefault,
"IOService:/IOResources/IODisplayWrangler");
if (entry != MACH_PORT_NULL) {
IORegistryEntrySetCFProperty(entry, CFSTR("IORequestIdle"), kCFBooleanTrue);
IOObjectRelease(entry);
}
}

Feature request
A detailed description of the proposed feature
It would be helpful if the Teleport could keep my machines awake. When my server connects to a client and controls it remotely, it's not uncommon for the server to sleep the display. Likewise when I'm using the server it's common for the client to sleep the display.
The motivation for the feature
When Teleport is active, I want all of my connected machines to stay awake if I am active on any of the connected machines. Alternatively, the ability to wake a machine when the mouse would move to it would also be good but might be harder to implement.
How the feature would be relevant to at least 90% of Teleport users
Anyone who uses one computer for a prolonged period of time will have this issue.
What alternatives to the feature have been considered
Use an external application like Amphetamine to keep the machines from sleeping. This works, but it keeps the machines awake indefinitely and it would be more convenient if they went to sleep on a normal schedule when not in use.
