Just a comment for this bug report. I am now using sleepd with a longer timeout for --ac-unused so that the system normally only suspends automatically when on battery. This works fine for me, and I do not have to worry about running 'sleepctl off' when the system will be busy.
But I have wondered about how to reasonably implement something like my original bug report, and I realized that what I have dealt with is actually 3 idle states: in use, busy-idle, and idle. The first is when there is someone at the computer, the second means the computer has a job to do (eg. compiling a kernel), and the third is when the computer is just sitting there doing nothing. My original report was about the second state. In this case I would (have) run 'sleepctl off' but wanted the computer to go ahead and suspend if AC power was lost. I am not sure about implementation details; I just wanted to clarify my thoughts a bit. You are welcome to close/ignore this wishlist bug or archive the idea somewhere: sleepd is working well enough without this extra functionality. Thanks for maintaining sleepd.
