osx - Putting the display to sleep (⇧⌃⏏/shift+control+eject) in AppleScript -

-

is possible write applescript put display sleep (which locks display if computer set lock on sleep)? can keyboard entering ⌃⇧⏏ (shift+control+eject); leaves programs, etc., running, , just turns off screen.

edit 2015-08-23: possible (from shell) of os x 10.9! go see user3064009's answer update :-)

there's no way this; there's a superuser question same thing. depending on why want this, however, there's 1 workaround know: activate screen saver. (this suggest on over superuser). can in applescript launch application id "com.apple.screensaver.engine", or command line running application /system/library/frameworks/screensaver.framework/resources/screensaverengine.app/contents/macos/screensaverengine. don't know whether or not technically documented anywhere, it's worked several iterations of os now. may not want—your screen saver may, instance, colorful, isn't helpful if want black screen—but same in lock screen if have set up.

for nice catalog of other workarounds, check out this macscripter thread: documents that

  • there's no scriptable way this.
  • you can't tell applescript key code eject, there's no such key code.
  • you can use pmset tell display go sleep in 1 minute, have wait.
  • there's undocumented iokit way this; there's a mailing list post explaining how.

so i've got simple form in canvas / iframe facebook app, , i'm trying pass along values post. reading on s.o. , fb's latest docs, understand it, data send via post form can accessed on receiving end $_request object. i read on thread on s.o. in order post forms work need pass along input named "signed_request" value current signed_request (i have signed request working ok otherwise...all login , authentication stuff working fine). isnt mentioned anywhere in official fb docs. so problem comes in $_request object signed request, , bunch of other session stuff. form inputs found. the way can read them set method of form "request" isn't real form method. takes of inputs , sends them args in url. horrible. here's sample page canvas app form i'm using try debug (leaving out authentication stuff): <form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" target="_top" id="my_form" action=...
