I'd prefer to avoid hitting the monitor display on/off too often. In an xterm, the script...
#!/bin/bash sleep 1 && xset -display :0.0 dpms force off ...shuts the screen off. Is there an equivalant command for a text console (e.g. where you end up if you hit CTRL-ALT-F1)? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
