activate screensaver in OS X 10.2


  • Subject: activate screensaver in OS X 10.2

Under OS X 10.1, I had been locking the screen (well, activating the screensaver, which already had password protection on) using:

do shell script "open -a ScreenSaverEngine"

Under 10.2, I have a problem with that. The ScreenSaver activates when I run the script, but a *second copy* of the ScreenSaver starts after the normal timeout period. When I go to unlock the screen I have to do it twice because there are two "screensaverengine"s running.

So, is there a better way to activate the screensaver?
