Check the dmesg command, /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Do you mean that when the screen saver puts the monitor in power save mode it won't come back, or does this happen while you are in the middle of using it?

comment How to kill the process in different group but not one-by-one?
If you are using the command, as opposed to the C function/system call, then use -- to ensure that the negative number is not interpreted as a command option. e.g. kill -- -123.

comment How to determine web page cpu usage?
The current Chrome Mac beta now includes the Task Manager and extension support! I guess I should have known that "Plug-in: Shockwave Flash" would be high on the cpu list, and one plug-in process is used for all pages using Flash. At least it lets you End Process, which is enough to accept this answer.

comment dd producing corrupt ISO images on Snow Leopard (whether invoked from a script or the shell)
You can create an image using dd, but it will not be an ISO image and will not be mountable since it is only raw audio data and has no filesystem. In that case you should use a block size of 2352 (bs=2352).

An audio CD does not contain a filesystem, so you cannot create a mountable ISO image of an audio CD using dd.

/dev/disk1s0 is used to read the CD-ROM data. If the CD is audio only, then there will be no /dev/disk1s0, only disk1s1, s2, etc. for each audio track.
