Prevent sleep during ssh session

[Tihomir Plachkov]

Hi Chris,

I am not quite sure how to do it but you may try as a starting point
something called wake on lan(WOL). I think that's an option supported by
motherboards and routers. It's just a suggestion as I had this option on my
old motherboard. Hope it will be helpfull for your case.

That's from me for now.

Greetings,

Tish
