OS Screen Saver Manager - disables screen saver in Linux - openhs - 2014-09-05

This is a service add-on that I wrote which disables operating system (desktop) screen saver in Linux. Supports XScreenSaver, XDG standard and custom commands.

Download version 0.0.0 .zip file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osscreensavermanager/files/service.osscreensavermanager/0.0.0/service.osscreensavermanager-0.0.0.zip/download.

Browse the code: http://sourceforge.net/p/osscreensavermanager/mercurial/ci/default/tree/.

Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osscreensavermanager/.

The add-on works right after the installation. In case you want to change settings you will find it under Services category in the Add-ons list.

When it suspends or resumes the screen saver it prints a NOTICE message to the xbmc.log prefixed with "service.osscreensavermanager" string (there are more messages if debugging is enabled).

Please test with your environment.
