is there a lighter simpler way though? (ie without a bash script like described here). I don't need to identify a specific portion of the screen only the touch event and an associated bash command.
I have usb net 0.22 I think. |
If you use ssh to login over the USB network, the kernel will set an internal bit "run lock". That is, it will never shut down, which is nice, since it is also getting power from the USB cable.
You WILL see the screen enable its "screen saver" on time-out, but that does not effect the kernel shutdow (just the change in the display).
