I have a script which adds data to filemaker pro databases (fp6). With
the growth of the script and increasing amounts of data to parse, I am
having a problem keeping it running to completion, because of screen
saver issues. Filemaker likes to be frontmost and as far as I can tell
the screen saver on my laptop coming on is the reason my script reaches
a point in execution then reports "filemaker pro got an error, apple
event timed out." I have tried to use system events gui scripting to
set screen saver to "never" but it doesn't seem to work. Whenever I
run the script, the screen saver eventually comes on and the process
times out.
Does anybody have a foolproof way to keep screen saver from activating
until the script is finished? Is there some reason that setting screen
saver to "never" doesn't work?
Thanks
John Fowler
