Apparently, you'll have to kill it, here you go:

try
do shell script "pmset noidle >/dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!" --****************
set pid to the result
on error errtext number errNr
"Error = " & errNr & return & errtext
display dialog the result
end try
display dialog "Begin time out ..."
do shell script "kill TERM " & pid

Thanks. I tried this and it seems to work.
I will have to wait until tomorrow to experiment with my Energy Saver sleep settings.
Will let you know what happens.
