It seems to be impossible to completely disable the Sleep option in MacOSX so that a user cannot manually put the system to sleep.
Is there a way in Leopard (or even Snow Leopard) for AppleScript to catch the Sleep event and cancel it?

You can’t do this from user mode, because the power manager prevents it, so you’ll need to use a kernel extension, such as InsomniaX.
