Re: Run Perl in Task scheduler to eliminate screensaver

[matthewb]

WTF?

Your sysadmin lets you arbitrarily run any program you have written but not disable the screensaver?

And how is a DOS prompt popping up every ten minutes less annoying than the screensaver?

And if you can schedule tasks why not just schedule the prompt to pop-up? Why write a script that implicitly requires a prompt to pop up?

I had a laugh, cheers. MB

I laugh at your attitude toward this question! Thanks to everyone else and their direction in helping me with this.

You really should listen to matthewb and davis.

I mean, why is it a problem for the screensaver to turn on after 15 minutes of inactivity. It's not your computer, it's the company's. Why do you care if the screensaver turns on if you aren't using the computer? Are you just so full of false laziness that you can't be bothered to type in your password a half-dozen times a day? Maybe someone at the company cares that someone could sit down with your user account and pretend they're you.

I didnt ask for comments on why I needed it done. Just wanted to get some direction as I said earlier. Again, thanks for all the answers to everyone else and no thanks to your "lazy" answer and attitude.
