No admin version...
This is about POWERSAVE on displays NOT screensavers NOR system sleep.
I do a very similar script but without needing all that administrator stuff. I suppose you could combine the two methods and get both the fixed toggle and no-admin password.
So instead of Make it...
Force doesn't effect the preferences, just the settings in memory, so it doesn't require privlidges. Too bad it still takes a full minute to take effect. I have 2 20" dell monitors and they use about 40 watts each and seem to put off most of that in heat. So it would be very helpful to have a single keypress to go in to powersave mode.
Ok, this will work better...
Only one problem...since I don't set the variable, it'll never toggle...so I just spent a few minutes learning some applescript...so if this is all bad form, forgive me.
I also didn't want to muck around with other apps like butler or geektool, so i just had it read the current setting aloud.
Hope it works out. If someone figures out how to set it to 1 second THAT would rock =)
Ok, this will work better...
thanks for that! I personally don't mind the password but I figure there are users that would. |
