Turn Monitor On/Off

I have client monitor displays that I want to turn on/off automatically depending on the machine state and found this: http://systembash.com/content/how-to-turn-off-your-monitor-via-command-line-in-ubuntu/

I’m using HP t5565 and t610 Thin Clients (Debian Linux version), so I copied the monitorControl.sh file in the link to them and used the following simple code in a Client Tag Change script to turn the monitor on/off:

if newValue.value: system.util.execute(["sh", "/home/user/Monitor/monitorControl.sh", "on"]) else: system.util.execute(["sh", "/home/user/Monitor/monitorControl.sh", "off"])

Enjoy!

These posts are awesome. Thank you. I will probably steal this.
