 Frequently I noticed that my iMac G5 will go to sleep during a time
 extensive build (gcc45 at the moment).

 I googled and found some other people with that problem - and an easy
 solution:


 {{{
 #!/bin/bash
 pmset noidle &
 <<<... do the work here ...>>>
 kill %pmset
 }}}

 Wouldnt it be smart to put the "noidle" command at the very beginning of
 any build script - and the "kill %pmset" at the very ending?
 I'd like the iMac to do the building - and then go to sleep after it's
 finished if nothing else is to do.
