Take a look at the manpage for pmset. Everthing should be doable there with do
shell script. For an applescript solution, see
<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200503020315453> for some hints.
BTW, the Energy Saver prefpane settings are in stored in
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and
maybe a do shell script "defaults write
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement" with the
appropriate key and value combination command might be better for what you're
trying to do.
