[SOLVED] How to turn off monitor at CLI

Hi
I've been trying to find a way to turn off my monitor, but the solutions I've found were almost all for X environment.
The best hint I've got was add following lines to /etc/rc.local:
setterm -blank 1
setterm -powersave on
setterm -powerdown 1
With that, monitor was suppose to blank screen after 1 minute and, after another 1 minute, shutdown. But it only blanks and nothing more. Without the first line: "setterm -blank 1", it just don't do anything.
Does anybody has idea of what else should I try?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Nezmer
Even with aliases, I would have to type von with monitor turned off.
I've done a script, witch is not a perfect solution, but works fine.
monitor_off:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if X is running or not, turn off monitor, #
# wait for a key press and turn it on again. #
grep_result_file=$PWD'/x_running'
# Check if X is running.
ps -e | grep -e "\bX\b" > $grep_result_file
ps -e | grep -e "\bxorg\b" >> $grep_result_file
ps -e | grep -e "\bxserver\b" >> $grep_result_file
## If you want to check result file, uncomment following lines.
#echo "===== $grep_result_file - begin ====="
#cat $grep_result_file
#echo "===== $grep_result_file - end ====="
if [ ! -s $grep_result_file ] || [[ $(tty) =~ tty ]] || [[ $(tty) =~ vc ]]; then
echo 'Detected X not runnig or you are at console...'
if [ $UID -ne 0 ]; then
echo 'You need super user privileges to run this script at console.'
echo 'Rerun as super user or start X and run from a terminal.'
exit 0
fi
turn_off='vbetool dpms off'
turn_on='vbetool dpms on'
else
echo 'Detected X running...'
turn_off='xset dpms force off'
fi
echo 'Turning off monitor...'
$turn_off
echo 'Waiting for a key press...'
read -n1 -s
echo 'Turning on monitor...'
$turn_on
rm $grep_result_file
echo 'Finished: monitor_off'
It checks if X is running or not because at X environment vbetool was a little slow, at least for me.
That's it!
I hope this could be useful for someone else.
Thank you for helping, guys.
Vinícius
P.S.: I'm setting this thread as solved, but any suggestion about the script is welcome.

How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Computer LeD monitor?

How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

miniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when the adapter is attached and the TV is off ? And will keeping the adapter connected even if it is not in use, cause damage to the adapter ?

I have my external monitor/tv setup of the left. If I leave the adapter attached with the TV off, I am still able to cross the border/boundry of my MBP screen ! As instead of detecting a TV, the MBP is detecting the adapter as a screen. I do not want to damage my thunderbolt/miniDisplay port by plugging and unpluggin the unit each and every time.

Bug: Windows 7 DLL call to turn off monitor message crashes LabVIEW 10.0f2

Hi,
I wanted to log this bug on the forum. I have already logged this with NI UK Support: CAR# 286873
I was trying to find a way to turn off a laptop lcd
monitor during measurements. I was trying to replicate this
http://codereflect.com/2009/04/03/how-to-programmatically-turn-onoff-your-monitor/
which uses windows messaging.
I found the attached Monitor-1.vi somewhere on the forum that seems to do the above.
However when I run the VI it crashes LabVIEW 10.f2 on Windows 7 32-bit.
cheers

ITunes disables Power Options- Turn Off Monitor

If I just run iTunes on my Windows XP PC my monitor no longer turns off after the "Control Panel->Power Options->Power Schemes->Turn off monitor" time period has expired. The monitor stays on contiuously. This issue exists even if I exit iTunes. I need to manually go into control panel and reset the "Turn off monitor" setting.
I suppose there might be a reason iTunes wants to disable this when it's executing but how about putting this energy saving setting back they way it found it when I exit iTunes.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
J

Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just disable it -
Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
