not looking for a pat on the back.

Yes, this is part of the reason I wanted to express my gratitude. I see the time and effort that you put in to help others. It is commendable. :thumbsup:

Ahh, thank you for your kind words. I do appreciate that. I’ve had so much fun learning code and creating things. There are a few people here that were kind enough and patient enough to help me. You are not least among them.

Case in point.

I tried again. The script ran without any console output.
As result the config:

@xset s noblank 
@xset s off 
@xset -dpms

was now doubled (first I added by hand, second from your script) in the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

@mieserwicht fabulous… thanks… i did NOT check if already set…

try it again, should not double it now and should say already disabled in the log file

Get an error message now:

pi@magicmirror:~ $ bash -c "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/ah7wtk30101xx4t/test_screensaver.sh?dl=0)"
grep: ungültiges Argument „pms“ für „--directories“
Gültige Argumente sind:
  - „read“
  - „recurse“
  - „skip“
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...
„grep --help“ liefert weitere Informationen.

Edit: And it still adds the configs to the autostart file, even if they already exist

@mieserwicht yeh, had to escape the - on -dpms… try again

adding again, yes, it got an empty result due to the error
