I realize that I probably won't be able to wake the screen from sleep, but I am tantalizingly close to being able to turn off the screen saver. Has anyone else managed to do this? If it can't be done, I guess I can always write myself a fake screen saver in Revolution, but I would rather let the system do all the work :-)

okay, I am being radical, but can't you kill the process using shell function?


you could fetch the process using:

ps -aux | grep "ScreenSaverEngine"

first word will be process ID (pid)

then to a:

kill --KILL <pid>

Like the AppleScript, it works fine so long as the screen saver time limit hasn't been reached, now to test if it has.

For anyone who is interested, the script is slightly different to the one Andre suggested:
get shell("ps -auxc | grep " & quote & "ScreenSaverE" & quote)
if it is empty then exit to top
put word 2 of it into pID
get shell ("kill " & pID)


Many thanks,
Sarah
