Hi, I am building some php script that will backup a mysql database
and store it locally. This script will be run on a spare computer I
have in my office. I want the results of the backup to be displayed
on the screen, through a web browser, but I ran into a small problem
with this: leaving the monitor on 24/7 while displaying a text report
that will often look similar may have the potential to burn an image
into the monitor, and ruin it.
Is there a way to have the php script "wake up" the computer during
business hours, so that the computer goes from a state of a
screensaver or turned off monitor to an "awake" monitor?

If it is a Linux computer, yes, I think. If it is a windoze computer,
No, I don't think so. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello everyone,
does anyone know a way to stop the screensaver under linux from
starting up while a certain process is running?
I need this because I experience a memory leak while recording
wav-files every time the screensaver starts.
It is a Tkinter application, btw.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to capture an event when the screensaver starts. I have code
working on Windows XP etc when the Password/Welcome Screen is enabled

However I am unable to detect the screensaver starting when the screensaver

capture the screensaver event unless the application is active .
Thank you in advance for any...

also will not access the config file.

My school computer has monitor issues (turns off every 2 minutes) and I have to constantly turn it back on. I don't have the software or the privelages to install the software needed to scan for viruses, and there are no more extra computers in class, so I'm forced to use this one. I was wondering if there was a way to turn the monitor off/on with python. I know how to set the switch (use pyHook, check if the 'esc' button is pressed, if it is,...

you do not want the Power Option "Turn off monitor" to be anabled. Is there
anyway to fix this from VB.net? (note that I am not talking about the screen

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
