It uses KeepAlive but adds a check called SuccessfulExit. If an app exits 'successfully' (technically, with an exit code = 0) then the app will not be automatically restarted (kept alive). However, if the app crashes (exit code not equal to 0) then it will be automatically restarted. Here is the relevant bit of launchd code.

KeepAliveInterval Specify a number of seconds for VNC Viewer to wait between sending keep alive messages to VNC Server, to maintain connections that might otherwise be considered idle by routers or gateways (perhaps because the VNC Viewer session window is minimized), and unexpectedly terminated. Specify 0 to not send keep alive messages.
First, this was the only ‘keep alive’ app that effectively prevented unwanted sleep, all others failed, but Taurine does the job well. I like the counter, easy quick interface, and lean profile. I don’t usually write reviews, but when an app solves a nagging problem well, it deserves 5 stars.

I know I'm coming in way after the fact here, but where am I supposed to store and launch this file? Any help would be much appreciated! :D

Aha, this is why Transmit keeps dropping on me.
I usually just open the files in Bbedit and edit them straight to the server - recently I had noticed it was timing out but could figure out why...my sanity thanks you.

I'm not sure how to do it if you use tabs, but if you use separate windows for each session, you can modify your script to the below, and it should refresh all your sessions.

I abbreviated one of your tell blocks since you only had one command in it.

HTH,

I think you might have wanted the 'delay 60' above the 'end repeat' :)

This version seems to work OK with tabs:

...and that commented-out refresh line obviously didn't need to still be there *cough*

I messed up my typing:
The last three lines should be this:
the delay 60 should be above the end repeat.

Transmit doesn't auto-reconnect when you try to fiddle with the window? Huh. I used to use Cyberduck, and am now shifting over to MacFusion, and they'll both auto-reconnect without hassling me if the connection's gone down when I try to use it.

I use Transmit, and it automatically reconnects dropped connections whenever I try to interact with the server. There doesn't appear to be anything in the Prefs that I might have changed, so I can only assume that this is its standard behaviour.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. It makes me sad that my hint only garnishes 2 1/2 stars though. ;( I should point out that I had 'keepalive' in the original title text, so it would pick up for people who are familiar with the FTP command and looking to make the functionality for transmit, which for some reason, unlike almost every FTP program i've ever seen, doesn't have it as an option. However, it's my favorite.

One problem I see with this script is that it will never terminate. If running as an application, the only way to quit it is to force-quit. My solution:

 tell application 'System Events' repeat while exists process 'Transmit' tell application 'Transmit' set all_docs to count of documents repeat with this_doc from 1 to all_docs tell document this_doc -- tell current session to refresh list their stuff files set all_sessions to count of sessions repeat with this_session from 1 to all_sessions tell session this_session to refresh list their stuff files end repeat end tell end repeat delay 60 end tell end repeat quit application 'Transmit KeepAlive' end tell

Replace 'Transmit KeepAlive' with whatever you have called your application. This version will quit itself (after 60 seconds) when it detects that Transmit is no longer open.
