I have a program running under OS X that monitors some electronics. As it operates 24/7, I let the screen saver come on and after some hours, I even let the screen go to sleep. My problem is getting the screen to activate itself when the electronics send a message that it needs to display.
I have tried an AppleScript to turn off the screen saver: quit application "ScreenSaverEngine"
This works fine if the screen saver was turned on manually by pushing the mouse pointer into the corner, but if the screen saver has come on after it's set time, when the script tries to turn it off, it goes off for about a second, displays the underlying Rev window, then comes back on again. I have tried moving the mouse pointer location in Revolution but this doesn't fool the screen saver setting :-(
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 :-)
