An AppleScript to toggle screen saver password
Authored by: kdbdallas on Jun 04, '07 09:53:28AM
I have been working on another script to do just this, and while I personally like this one the part this is missing is telling the screen saver to use the new settings. The problem is that the screen saver process is already running and therefore it does not see the new changes. So what you have to do is tell the screen saver to get the new changes. I have a program to do this. While in my own testing this is not 100% effective all the time, I am hoping that with this new script it will be. If you are interested in the screen saver reset script you can find it on my site at: http://www.kdbdallas.com/index.php/2007/05/22/macos-x-screen-saver-password-onoff/ When I get a chance I will add this new code into my process and test it. If you are interested in what I find and what changes I do, make sure to check my site as I will post updates there.
