As per another thread, I was wondering if it's possible to make an Applescript to turn off the screen? I know it's possible to have it turn off after awhile, but one click or hotkey off (with something like a mouse movement or hotkey to turn it back on) would really be handy - especially for those with an iMac, etc.

Is there a Terminal command that can do it? If there is, it can be done via a shell script command in AppleScript.

I found a program called SleepDisplay. It says it doesn't currently work with Leopard. It also says it's for the iMac but I just tested it, and it worked fine for me in Tiger on my hackintosh (dual monitors, both slept).

ctrl-shift-eject will turn your screen off immediately.

Is that a Leopard thing? It doesn't work on any of my Macs.
