Title: Re: Inhibiting Sleep
I've been curious to see if you tried theDaniel's method which seemed to give you control over the period of time to suspend sleep, supposedly without needing (or, at least, it didn't consider) the error stuff. Did you give it a try?

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?
