There is
kde-inhibit --screenSaver <command>provided by KDE.But these days, I would just recommend everyone to use
systemd-inhibit --what=idle --why=<because> --who=<myself> <command>instead. Works across desktops and does the same thing.What should I put in the
<command>part?Anything that runs as long as you want the block to be. Usually
sleepis a good one, usesleep infinityif you want the blocker to never go away until thesystemd-inhibitprocess is killed manually.Would yes command work ?
Presumably, but it prints "y" to the program output as fast as your CPU allows it, so that's probably not a very efficient way to do it.
