7h3kk1d Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 So I have a monitor in my dorm room across from my bed so sometimes I want to watch hulu then go to sleep but I can't because my monitor will stay on afterwards. Any ideas. My ideas: Make an android app that sends a message to my computer to start screensaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Try this utility http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html The command is nircmd.exe monitor off This will only allow you to turn off the monitor locally not remotely. However you could set up a persistent netcat reverse shell, where you could remotely turn on and off the monitor.
