command to wake up the screen of a laptop

  • Subject: command to wake up the screen of a laptop
  • From: Jim Brandt <email@hidden>

I have a script that copies a single sound file from a CD to the desktop (church sermon). The file tends to run 450M to 500M and takes 3 to 5 minutes to copy. When running on a MacBook on battery, the screen goes black during the copy process.

Is there a standard accepted way to 1) check this condition, and 2) to wake the screen up from sleep?

Is messing with "pmset" in Unix the best (or only) way?

TIA,

Jim
