Prevent screensaver depending on activity

I have an .NET Core app displaying data using a raspberry PI (Raspberry PI OS/Raspbian). I'd like to prevent raspberry's screensaver (or sleep mode) only when there's something to display. Which command can I send ? What mecanism can I use ?

I found how to do so :

  • First, I permanently deactivate screen-saver with autostart script and commands :

    @xset s off

    @xset -dpms

  • Next, I only "play" with hdmi activation when I need it:

    - `tvservice -p` to activate HDMI display
- `tvservice -o` to deactivate HDMI display

To send command, I use this :

Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo { FileName = "/usr/bin/bash", Arguments = "-c \" COMMAND_TO_SEND \""}).WaitForExit();
