# PowerPause: pause a shell command when you are on battery
When you're compiling [Firefox](https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev) using `./mach build`, and you pick up your laptop to go do something, disconnecting the power cable, you look down 10 minutes later to find your battery is dead.
Instead:
```shell
PowerPause ./mach build
```
Now, when you disconnect power, the build process will get sent a Control-Z (SIGTSTP). When you plug back in, the process will get continued (SIGCONT).
# Platform support
OSX only for now. Will take patches for other OSes that include build files.
# Build on OSX
```shell
git clone https://github.com/hildjj/PowerPause.git
cd PowerPause
xcodebuild
./build/Release/PowerPause ls
```
