Yes, most of the very many that you didn't know existed just a moment ago also handle that tricky case of restoring normal operation.

Bold accusation ;)

You forgot to argue about the LOC vs file count issue.

Also, you are wrong: None does auto sleep on script exit.

Oops, didn't follow user names. My mistake.

And, I've been using these for around 9 years. A few I tried most definitely did re-enable on exit. Not sure why file count is a concern, or especially LOC (a truly horrendous metric to target, with the outcome being unintelligible code golf when optimized for). All that I used were exactly one file I was concerned with: a binary or shell script.

This has become strange. Cheers!

Obviously code-golfed LOC is bullshit. 50 files and GUI for a near-trivial functionality is excessive, though.
