While I’m asking questions. Can someone tell me what signal need to be sent to make the saver turn off. I want an app to sit in the background and when events happen, turn off the saver and display an alert.

kill ( pid, SIGTERM );

or system ( " slay -sSIGTERM process_name" );

Is that the answer you are looking for?

Maybe. Here ya go. I just want to turn off the screen saver. Similar to if I hit a key or moved the mouse. I don’t actually want to kill saver, I want it to continue to running in the backgournd waiting for me to leave it
alone for five minutes.

Thanks
Ben
