I used …
do shell script "pmset noidle >/dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!"
as suggested by Paul Scott and it works correctly.
I have a number of scripts that use a variant of this …
set soundpid to do shell script "afplay " & soundPath & " &> /dev/null & echo $!"
and have never encountered any problem, so I also tried this …
do shell script "pmset noidle >/dev/null & echo $!"
But the script does not work correctly without the "2>&1".
Can someone wearing a unix hat explain when "2>&1" should and should not be used?
