App to 'wake up' your android player??

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Player (Froyo) and have got it set up to synchronise with the mail exchange server at work using the "WiFi Web Login" tool by SysLynx.

Simply, the process works like this:

1. I get within range of the wifi connection
2. wifi connection is made automatically
3. To get access to email and calendar I then need to login through a webpage with username and password
4. "WiFi Web Login" is programmed to automatically run a script that fills in the web page details automatically so that I don't have to type it in every time I get to work
5. Email and calendar start synchronising and everything is hunky dory!

But...

I've noticed that "WiFi web login" does not seem to operate when my SGP goes into sleep mode (ie. screen goes blank and I need to swipe it to switch it back on).

So this means that if I add a calendar event on my PC at work it won't get synchronised to my SGP until the next time I manually wake it up. Therefore, if I receive a meeting invite in the morning for later in the day and I don't turn on the SGP at any time prior to the meeting then I won't get notified while I'm away from my PC.

Is there an app available that can 'wake up' your SGP for a period of 15sec once an hour (for example) so that it can perform the sync and then go back to 'sleep'?? That way the SGP will never be more than 1hr out of sync with my PC.

I understand that there will be the risk of inadvertent pressing on the screen during the 15sec window, but I figure that's pretty unlikely as it will be kept inside a leather case.

Any help is much appreciated!!

Andrew.
