Hummm.  I tried turning off ipaq-sleep (/etc/init.d/ipaq-sleep stop) and
while the daemon is killed, the machine still goes to sleep after the
preset time.

So I tried to tell ipaq-sleep not to turn off anything

ipaq-sleep -u 0 -o 0

but the machine still went to sleep after 10 minutes.

Is there something else that turns sleep on and off?  Or do I have to
shuffle config files?

Who says engineers have to be pencil necked geeks?  (_)\(_)

As long as nobody gets hurt, a decent explosion livens up any experiment.
