I need a program to be able to wake up the display and/or stop the screensaver, without having the user interact with the mouse or keyboard. (E.g., for an app used in a classroom situation to broadcast a message to a Mac hanging on a wall that happened to be in sleep mode). Any pointers to a relevant API would be appreciated.
