First of all: thanks for packaging rsync ready to use, makes my life much easier.
I am running rsync on the family PCs around, but some long backups abort since the PCs enter sleep before completing the backup. So I was wondering if there is a way to keep windows from entering standby or hibernation while transfers are happening.
To run properly on a power-managed computer, applications such as fax servers, answering machines, backup agents, and network management applications must use both ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED and ES_CONTINUOUS when they process events.
Would you think this could be patched into rsync, so that it prevents the PC from sleeping while a client is connected?
