Is there a way to wake up the display or to come out of idle sleep? 

I have a central computer communicating with several satellite Macs that 
generate and display our patterns.   The satellites get no user input and I 
keep them awake with UpdateSystemActivity().  That all works great until there 
is a break in use of the main computer.  For long breaks (like overnight)  I'd 
like the satellites to go to sleep, but when I enable that, I can't get them to 
fully wake afterwards.    I am using the ThoMoNetworking framework to get the 
satellites as servers.  As servers the satellites can send and receive 
information from the central computer when it starts up in the morning, but 
unfortunately the display remains off.  In most other situations keeping the 
displays off is desirable, but not here,  and I can't find any way to wake up 
the rest of the machine.  Any suggestions? 
I'm seeing the problem in a range of Macs running versions of Lion.  

Thanks,
-Rob
