Hi David, that would not work, because the display does need to sleep, it would be working a long time, and at night.... but needs to let people know that it is done. i have an alarm go off, but people can know it has gone off much better from a distance if suddenly the room is filled with light from the display waking up.

surely there is a method for this?  wouldn't there be?

no, not the machine sleep, just the display sleep... the situation would be a process that runs longer than the current display sleep time, which then pops up an alert, which no one can see, since the display is asleep...

Hrm... In what situation would you want to do such a thing?
And what if the user has set security to require a password after being in sleep?

Maybe prevent display sleep while your process is running?
