Method to override waking

[DaAwesomeP]

I am trying to figure out a way to programmatically wake a kiosk display as well as when the user taps it. I am currently using this:

killall clicklock && xset dpms force on

This works and clicklock is reinstated the next time the monitor sleeps. Though this seems like a hack. Is there a better method to achieve this?

To be honest I basically use the same hack. I just start clicklock as a service that I then stop (might be considered less hacky than a killall). I don't know if there is a nicer method.
