Sorry, it doesn't work if the screen saver has come on after it's time setting. In fact it is exactly the same as the AppleScript. You can see it happening as the screens saver goes off for about half a second, then comes straight back on again :-( Most frustrating as it seems that it is ALMOST working.
Thanks for all your help anyway, Sarah
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)

If it works, then Transcript now supports the kill command for OS X, including nominating the signal type (including 9). You are sending sig 1 or 15 (I forget which) in the above.

This works over here:
on wakeUp
put "tell application " & quote & "Finder" & quote & cr \
& "quit application " "e& "ScreenSaverEngine" & quote & cr & "end tell" into a
do a as applescript
end wakeUp
