The NoSleep utility for Mac OSX ( Mavericks et. all) that allows you to keep your computer from going to sleep even when the lid / clamshell is shut. It is accessed via a System Preferences pane and when running also shows up in the menu bar.
To use the command line tool you need to choose that option when installing NoSleep:
It will be installed as `/usr/local/bin/NoSleepCtrl` and you should be able to type in `NoSleepCtrl` in your Terminal.app to run it ( or use the full path if that doesn’t work )
Here are the options for using it:
Usage: NoSleepCtrl [OPTIONS] …
