Does anyone know MacOS X better than I do?

In summary, the individual is wondering if there is a way to make a script or set up a screensaver at the login screen to prevent their screen from dying. They are also interested in having a screensaver for aesthetic purposes and mention difficulties with leaving their computer running due to the glowing blue screen and server software issues. They are aware of the option to have a screensaver after the login screen but are unsure if there is a way to have one at the login screen itself. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if there is a way that I can make a script or something like that so that my screen saver can turn on at the login screen. I don't want my screen dying from sitting at that blue screen for so long and I don't know how to set it up to do that. Any help would be appreciated greatly!

Thanks

your screen won't die, back in the day monitors would get burned from static images been displayed for a long period of time but anymore screensavers are just for looks.

oh okay

well can i have one for looks anyways? or at least make the screen go black.

I also find it'd hard to sleep when i leave my computer running and the blue screen glowing like a treasure chest you'd see in the movies. Also, since I have an old bubble iMac i can't shut off the monitor without killing my server software. The only way to do that is to put it into sleep mode and Apache doesn't seem to run (or at least properly) with my computer in sleep mode.
