SYNOPSIS

       autosuspend [options]

DESCRIPTION

       autosuspend  is a daemon that periodically that suspends a system on inactivity.  For this
       purpose, it periodically iterates  a  number  of  user-configurable  checks,  which  shall
       indicate  whether  a certain activity on the host is currently present that should prevent
       the host from suspending.  In case one of the checks indicates such activity, no action is
       taken  and  periodic  checking continues.  Otherwise, in case no activity can be detected,
       this state needs to be present for a specified amount of time before the host is suspended
       by autosuspend.

       If   not  specified  via  a  command  line  argument,  autosuspend  looks  for  a  default
       configuration at /etc/autosuspend.conf.  autosuspend.conf(5) describes  the  configuration
       file, the available checks, and their configuration options.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Displays an online help.

       -c FILE, --config FILE
              Specifies   an  alternate  config  file  to  use  instead  of  the  default  on  at
              /etc/autosuspend.conf.

       -a, --allchecks
              Usually, autosuspend stops checks in each iteration as soon as the  first  matching
              check  indicates  system  activity.  If this flag is set, all subsequent checks are
              still executed.  Usefull mostly for debugging purposes.

       -r SECONDS, --runfor SECONDS
              If specified, do not run endlessly.  Instead, operate only for the specified amount
              of seconds, then exit.  Usefull mostly for debugging purposes.

       -l [FILE], --logging [FILE]
              If  used  without a file argument, enable debug logging (use as last argument).  If
              used with a file, configure logging with the  provided  logging  file.   This  file
              needs to follow the conventions for Python logging files.
