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?
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to run
It's been a while, but I tried the above, and while it does lock the
screen, the OS still runs a second copy of the saver after the
timeout. Any other ideas? Is there a way to do it with events? For
example, is there an event for the timeout, or placing the mouse in
the "hot" corner?
