Ok, LockTight looks interesting, but requires someone physically at the keyboard to hit the keyboard combo. I am looking for a solution that automatically sleeps the display when there is a application processing, again which is QuickTime Broadcaster. Screensavers never get activated because the OS settings determine the system isn't idle because of this running application. The process is QuickTime Broadcaster.

Curious, what process controls the hot corner setting for "Sleep Display" or if you can modify the OS to ignore some applications running like QT Broadcaster to activate the screensaver?

Your screensaver is close, but the cursor appears after 5-10 seconds of running. So, ideally don't want the cursor displaying. Do you have any updates to this screensaver that fixes this issue?

It's basically this hacky stuff. Added to the post. yeah, I can stick the code up if anyone is interested. It’s basically this hacky stuff. Added to the post.

My previous "solution" of having script saver call a setuid shell script which in turn set the sleep timeout as low as possible, then back again left a lot to be desired. Excellent contribution.

Works as expected on all connected screens. Now, if you could make the screens fade out slowly while the computer sings "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...", *that* would be something.
