Fedora power management

[CLOSE Dave]

I have some laptops running F20/KDE which, among other purposes, are 
acting as gateways to a private network. Most of the time these laptops 
are unattended -- no one is logged into the console -- but the gateway 
function must continue to run so that remote users can reach the private 
network. So I need to prevent these laptops from going to sleep.

It appears that KDE's power management function applies to the user 
logged into the console. If a user is logged in, I can easily prevent 
sleep. But if the user logs out or the laptop is booted by a remote 
user, no power management seems to be active and they eventually go to 
sleep.

Is there a way to keep the power management function active even when no 
one is logged into the console?
