We were installing an update on the iSeries and didn't want to camp out

in the computer room. So we aimed a camera at the console monitor and
watched from afar.

To prevent the console from going to sleep we used an Automatic Mouse

Wiggler. We had an optical mouse, and a piece of paper. The mouse was
turned sensors up, and the paper was taped to a nearby rack and draped
across the mouse. Air blowing up along the rack made the paper flutter,
keeping the session alive.

My beef with MS is that in their minds as long as the mouse hasn't moved
or the keyboard gotten input for x number of seconds that the machine is
'not in use'. This appears to be the only way to prevent your machine
from rebooting when you get back from lunch and have a conference call,
or you step up to the podium and the machine says: "We've got a few
updates for you" IMHO that is Hubris on their part.
