The command for that *IN X WINDOWS* is... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
xset dpms force off |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you want to do it manually from the keyboard, I suggest typing... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
sleep 3 ; xset dpms force off |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This will wait 3 seconds before switching the screen off. Any mouse |
| 17 |
or keyboard action should wake up the screen. The 3 second delay is so |
| 18 |
that the keyboard bouncing back from you hitting {ENTER} doesn't wake up |
| 19 |
the screen. |
