kandi X-RAY | HalfCaff Summary
HalfCaff is a Python library. HalfCaff has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.
OSX Status Bar app to keep laptop from sleeping when Cisco VPN is connected or TimeMachine is backing up. Building a full standalone app using py2app can be complicated. For that reason a fully standalone version of the app is released in the project and can be downloaded here: HalfCaff-1.0.zip. The only dependency is having Cisco AnyConnect installed. You can download, unzip, and move HalfCaff.app to your Applications folder to install. HalfCaff has been tested on OSX 10.10 through OSX 10.12, but should work with older OSX 10 systems. The Cisco Anyconnect VPN app with RSA token authentication has a problem. It does not change the sleep setting on OSX when connected and as a result, when the machine sleeps VPN is disconnected. This can be a real pain with the 2FA token. There are plenty of tools (Cafeine, caffeinate, etc) which will work on the commandline or provide a nice status bar for setting the amount of time to keep the system awake for, but none which will monitor network activity or provide a plugin interface. This started as an excuse to learn rumps, py2app, and accessing Coacoa from python using pyobjc, but quickly developed into a fully functional application. HalfCaff will detect when a VPN connection is active, and provide the option to keep the system from entering idle, but will still have the screen turn timeout and lock. When the VPN connection ends, or is dropped due to remote side issues, HalfCaff will detect this and disable the idle sleep protection. The only subprocess work is for checking the VPN connection status which uses the Cisco VPN client application. This is polled ever 2.5 minuites, and this polling interval can be configured. This interval was selected to ensure that a new VPN connection would be detected before the default idle sleep period would be encountered. All other system interactions are performed directly through Coacoa, AppKit, IOKit and the Framework pyobjc interfaces.
