Hello All,

Another handy script I use a lot...this one shut off my monitor.  I frequently 
leave my computer running overnight for various reasons and it's in my bedroom 
and the monitor faces my bed.

This turns off a single monitor that I know of.  When I can use both of my 
monitors again, I'll try it.

Anyhow, here's the script for sh:

===
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1; xset dpms force off
===

The sleep 1 makes sure you're not typing to turn off the monitor.

To turn the monitor on, press any key to wake the system up.

I have this assigned to the Super (Windows key)-O key combo under XFCE.
