Emulab FAQ: Testbed Operations: How do I turn off idle detection?

Your emulab-ops experiments were set up before the install process took care of this ...
In red dot mode, go to the experiment page for emulab-ops/hwdown. Click on Edit Metadata and you will see an option called "idle ignore" which tells the idle daemon to skip it.
