Sounds like you pasted the script without checking to make sure none of the lines in the browser were wrapped to the next line (there are a few long lines in that script that I should break up). This would result in the long line being pasted as two lines, and the script would fail.  In order to properly copy from the browser, scale the browser window up until none of the lines wrap, or temprarily decrease the font size before copying (Ctrl+minus in firefox) if the lines still wrap.

Also, this is a lua script, so the filename extension shouldn't be "sh". This isn't vital, but it may avoid confusion.

damn, when it rains it pours, but you were right on the 1st.  So great addition, that worked, I was able to load the unclutter app but this is the issue (now I remember).

It doesn't work with the gfashplayer.   Basically gflash sees it as an event and removes the full screen.  When I start the app;
gflashplayer /main.swf, it loads and makes it full screen, when you hit <esc>, it goes to a windowed app.  Now if I run unclutter in the background, start gflash, it goes right into window mode.  I tried all the var's, -noevents, etc. and naturally -not gflash keeps it full screen but unclutter doesn't start.

My only other thought might be to try like a firefox in kiosk mode, problem was the additional memory it took.

SOLVED:

using unclutter (thanks mik) with a variety of command line tweaks finally got it.  so it starts the perl apps, unclutter, then finally glflash full screen, then after 5 seconds the mouse is gone!

Thanks... one new post coming up and that should take care of this project.
