Power assertions on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

[shoelzer]

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and it is agressive about going to sleep. Disk activity is no longer enough to keep it awake, so it will sleep in the middle of Handbrake encodes. Apple provides "power assertions" that apps can set to prevent sleeping (when on AC power) so it would be great if Handbrake was updated to use them.

Right now I have a workaround for the CLI, a new command called "caffeinate". I use it like this:

Code: Select all

caffeinate -s HandBrakeCLI -i inputFile -o outputFile --preset="AppleTV 3"

Thanks. I'm glad to see that this is on the radar even if it's not a priority at the moment.
