How can I make all folders in Finder “snap to grid”? @Nathan Did you have any luck after trying the answer above, or is it still not functioning? |

Disable screensaver password requirement from command line @DanielLawson Thanks, are you currently working on 10.7? I generally like to post what OS's I have tested my commands on and unfortunately this morning I am stuck with an old Snow Leopard machine and won't have access to a 10.7 machine until later today. I would hate for it to function on 10.6.x and fail on 10.7 :–( However, I am fairly certain this will function as the plists are very similar. I know 10.5's screensaver.plist is different and some tweaking would be needed. Anyhow, thanks again. :–) |

double password entry to access account @newenglander I am sorry it isn't working for you. Is it the script that isn't working for you or a specific variation of the script? In testing the above script worked as expected. I know that you may have been attempting to utilize it in a slightly different way. |

double password entry to access account @newenglander CHOSEN_TIME is the chosen time you have selected when setting your Security and Privacy in System Preferences. ELAPSED_TIME is the amount of time the screensaver has already been running. :–) |

double password entry to access account @newenglander I am not sure about that. The script utilizes the Security and Privacy in System Preferences which sets the com.apple.screensaver.plist. The script is searching to see if the Screen Saver is running and then checking the settings within the screensaver.plist to run the suspend as needed. |

double password entry to access account @newenglander I made a quick edit to ensure that the script will also function if the set time is less than 1 min. As for the ps command, a result will only show up if the screensaver is in use. :–) To test this you will either have to run the script within your daemon or use a remote machine. |

How can I leave my wifi connection connected after logging the user out of the OS? Do you have another network that can be connected to? Perhaps a dummy network with limited internet availability if any at all. If you have managed access points you could just create such an SSID in order to have access to them while no one is logged in. |
