Display Agent By SW is a command-line package that, when installed, runs a series of automated scripts which reinforces a 15-minute interval for the screensaver to launch.

So why create this utility?

In OS X Server, you can often manage which preferences an employee can access, and even some settings within certain preferences.
Alas, the ScreenSaver is not one of them. In fact, its what is known as a "ByHost" preference...which can be continually overwritten on login/logout...making it difficult to manage at all.


And, since its a package (and not a standalone program)....it can be used in conjunction with technologies such as:

Apple Remote Desktop
Timbuktu
Telnet/SSH
Netboot
Netinstall

So you can install this utility on several thousand machines simultaneously....even remotely!
This could save lots of time if you wanted to install this program without going to yet-another mac and running yet-another copy of yet another utility.
