yea……the monitor used to get on again …but creating a bat file worked…

i mean ….just open notepad……….type “nircmd.exe monitor off” without quotes and save it as ‘desired_name.bat”

i just found a workaround : a .bat file with twice the command “nircmd monitor off”.
The screen blinks once, but in then turns off.

Tried monitor off on Vista. It turns off monitor, but immediately the montiror turns on again… without me doing anything!!!
did i miss something ?
I’d like to turn it off, and turn on when i hit th keyborad or move the mouse.

Do you know if the source is available? I’d like to know how they tell the system to turn off, dim the monitor, etc.

Keith,

It’s definitely for someone like you then! I’m just starting to get into the whole Putty thing too!

Definitely looks like a good software to have, being a software engineer I use putty and cmd almost half my day. This would definitely be a good addition for me .
