Hello all!
So here is my dilemma, I'm connecting an iPad to a mac mini via an app called Screens which uses VNC. When a computer is connected via VNC it doesn't want to go to sleep or activate screensaver. Well I need that to happen. I found a workaround in an app called PowerManager, which has a function that states "run script after ___ amount of inactivity, and it works and starts the screensaver even while connected to VNC! but it is $50 and I have to put it on multiple machines. I only need this one function, so I was hoping to write an applescript that basically does the following,
after 8min of inactivity run screensaver.app
and that script obviously has to be running continuously.
So yeah, any help would be much appreciated, I haven't done too much scripting but I can follow instructions.
Thank you!
