Battistics

Terminal

Turn on Power › Local automation in Battistics, then:

Terminal window
battistics run --name Build -- swift build
battistics run [--minutes N] [--name NAME] [--mode MODE] -- COMMAND [ARG...]
  • The command runs in your terminal, with the same directory, environment and streams. Arguments are passed without a shell; use sh -c for pipelines.
  • Keep Awake lasts as long as the command, 12 hours at most (--minutes takes 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360 or 720).
  • --mode is displayMaySleep (default), displayOn or lidClosed. Closed-lid needs automation allowed for it and the power helper installed.
  • A running session is never replaced. If Keep Awake cannot start, the command does not run and battistics exits with 69.
  • A stop by protection or timeout lets the Mac sleep but never kills the command. The exit status is the command’s own.
