Then I wrote a script to move the mouse randomly across the screen.
I'd post the script but I did a clean install. It wasn't very in-depth, though.
1. Write an endless loop
2. Generate 2 random numbers
3. call cliclick to move the mouse to those coordinates Echo "Keep-alive with Scroll Lock..."
$WShell = New-Object -com "Wscript.Shell"
while ($true)
{
$WShell.sendkeys("{SCROLLLOCK}")
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 300
$WShell.sendkeys("{SCROLLLOCK}")
Start-Sleep -Seconds 240
}while true; do xdotool key Pause; sleep 240; done
Note that you use xdotool which is external so you are cheating. On Winodws you can do better with AHK which is compared to xdotool like spaceship to bucycle.
Note that comparing AHK to xdotool is like comparing a Titanic-sized roll of Flex Tape to duct tape. I don’t use boats that have taken a lot of damage, so I don't need Titanic-sized Flex Tape.
root:~ # xclip -o
while(1) { (New-Object -c "Wscript.Shell").SendKeys("{SCROLLLOCK}"); sleep -m 240 }root:~ # xclip -o | wc
0 9 87
root:~ # xclip -o | wc -c
87You need xWindows to count chars ? Noice :)
I noticed.

Tell me, oh Windows master, your superior spaceship ways of counting characters.
