Swad Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 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. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26587-applescript-for-turning-off-the-monitor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nonny Moose Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Is there a Terminal command that can do it? If there is, it can be done via a shell script command in AppleScript.

sarahbau Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 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). http://linestreet.googlepages.com/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26587-applescript-for-turning-off-the-monitor/#findComment-733435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bal0 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ctrl-shift-eject will turn your screen off immediately. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26587-applescript-for-turning-off-the-monitor/#findComment-742511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ctrl-shift-eject will turn your screen off immediately. Is that a Leopard thing? It doesn't work on any of my Macs.

FlyingMac Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 hi in active screen corners there's such this option, just goto system preferences / expose and spaces / and then for example choose right top corner, and from pop down menu choose sleep monitor. now when you roll over mouse to right top corner of monitor the monitor will sleep. hop to be useful for u. As per another thread, I was wondering if it's possible to make an Applescript to turn off the screen?
