request] Shell command, shortcut or a script to put monitor in stand by

Up untill now i've been using a multi-purpose docklet for OD that had an option of putting the monitor in standby mode. I want to have it off when i leave my comp overnight to download/upload stuff.

Since i switched to RkLauncher i'm trying to find a shortcut or a script to do this instead of a docklet. I googled and searched everywhere but the best i found was to use an app, which is something i really don't want to do cause they usually cause my laptop's cooler to go into frenzy and having a jet turbine next to my ear is not my idea of a perfect lullaby.

So does anyone have a solution for this? I need a shortcut (or a shell command) or a simple script that will only put the monitor in standy while eveyrhing else would go on as normal.

Thanks in advance

MonCloser

'moncloser 0' to turn off the monitor, 'moncloser 1' or any action to turn it back on.

Couldn't you just play with the power settings? Display Properties > Screensaver > Power Options > Turn off monitor after _ minutes (down to one).

Maybe you already know about this and don't want to use it...

I use Steve Gibson's Wizmo with the Mon Off cmd in combination with the Shake cmd ....

@ Ivan - tried it and it seems to be working even thought cooler still goes to overrev a bit.

@ stillist - yeah i know that. I just wanted something instant and it would be a bit tedious do change the settings every time i get up and go to sleep

@ k_ayne - that was the first app i tried but cooler goes nuts after 5 mins

Thanks guys

btw your cooler problem sounds like something a different version of laptop drivers would solve, have you tried that?

What new drivers?

You know where we live. My laptop (DTK) came with buggy gfx drivers and to be able to use this computer at all i had to install Omega drivers. DTK doesn't release any new drivers for this laptop so i have to use what i find.

I'm forced to live with what i've got
