NAME

       jskeepalive - keeps a joystick alive

SYNOPSIS

       jskeepalive <device-name>

DESCRIPTION

       jskeepalive  continuously  reads  from the given joystick device. (This
       doesn’t  prevent  other  programs  from  accessing  the  same  joystick
       device.)  This  is  necessary for certains joysticks which disappear if
       they   are   not   accessed    during    a    given    interval    (see
       https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/joystick/+bug/448446).
