Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Preventing Sleep

[Allison N. <dem...@ma...>]

OK, that worked like a charm, thanks Marcelo. 

I actually ended up creating a bundle, as I figure that this will probably be something of fairly general use, at least for my own apps.  However, I wanted to ask the list if there isn't already a bundle that the community is using as a one-stop repository for storing an interface for these low-level C functions that I could add the call to.  Alternatively, if there isn't such a repository, do people feel that it would be worthwhile to create one?  I'd be happy enough to do the work to get the ball rolling.

What is considered the best way of accessing this type of code, or better yet, has anyone already exposed this functionality for RubyCocoa?
