(I would not like to change any defaults.) In Terminal you can use:
pmset noidle
Unsure of how you would use it in a "do shell script" though.
There's nothing to do but to test. I added this to my script
try do shell script "pmset noidle" --**************** on error errtext number errNr "Error = " & errNr & return & errtext display dialog the result end try
display dialog "Begin time out ..."
The do shell script line halts the script. I can see in Activity Monitor that 'pmset' is running. I wait awhile, then ... When I quit 'pmset' via Activity Monitor, I get the error message dialog, then I get the "Begin time out
" dialog
Either this will not work or more is needed in the do shell script line.
