I'm using Kali linux  on vmware in windows7. I've been trying to crack my wpa password and noticed that when I leave the system running (in process of cracking password) and leave the laptop on and go away for about 10-15 minutes, Kali linux goes to sleep and I am not sure if the cracking process with reaver is still running or not. When I click onto the page a box comes up prompting me to type in my username and password. When I type that in it logs me back on but my screens that were left open cracking the password are no longer there and everything starts freezing up a lot. The mouse is freezing and if I try to click on anything there is a massive delay before anything happens or nothing at all.Also there was no option prevent screen going in an inactive state infinitely..(lock and brightness-maximum time 1 hour)I've since had to switch back to backtrack to do my cracking and has been running perfectly and does not go to sleep when left for long periods.Now what I'd like to know is how can I prevent kali linux from goingto sleep and closing my work that's in progress?Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
