`caffeinate' seems to be a command-line ripoff of http://www.lightheadsw.com/caffeine/ http://www.lightheadsw.com/caffeine/

  Quite obvious ripoff, too. Apple could at least have named it "nosleep" or something like that.

    Nosleep would be a ripoff of this project: https://code.google.com/p/macosx-nosleep-extension/ https://code.google.com/p/macosx-nosleep-extension/

  There isn't much to rip off, the whole thing is a few dozen lines long, trivial utility. The program name is probably a bona fide reference to the app. The source code of caffeinate(8) is available at http://opensource.apple.com/source/PowerManagement/PowerManagement-271.1/caffeinate/caffeinate.c http://opensource.apple.com/source/PowerManagement/PowerMana...

  Hmm, never heard of that, but I can see myself using this caffeinate command quite often. Sometimes I leave command line programs running overnight then get annoyed when I find that my Mac went to sleep after an hour because I'd forgotten to adjust the power saving settings. So running caffeinate -u <my command> will be very handy indeed

  More importantly, it'll make these utilities easier to write.
