Subject: [gentoo-user] How do I turn off text console screen in software?

1 I'd prefer to avoid hitting the monitor display on/off too often. In
2 an xterm, the script...
3
4 #!/bin/bash
5 sleep 1 && xset -display :0.0 dpms force off
6
7 ...shuts the screen off. Is there an equivalant command for a text
8 console (e.g. where you end up if you hit CTRL-ALT-F1)?
