How to manually turn on/off Xorg screen
Posted on May 2nd, 2012
It can be useful for example if you have a display that you need to be on for a period of time from 9-00 to 18-00 when you on desk.
I use that feature for Nagios management station which is running all the time but turn head display only when I’m on duty and can see what is on it.
nagios@nms-host$ crontab -l 0 18 * * * DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force off 0 9 * * * DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force on
