Re: [arch-general] Script to check monitor blank state

Hello everyone,

i would like to write a little script, that suspends my computer if a few circumstances are met.

One should be, that my screen should be blanked. I already did a google search on this, but i only found howtos of getting it to work / disable it.

It looks like xset q does not print the actual state. Maybe there is a hook for screen blanking?

Here, "xset q" has a line that says: "Monitor is On". Couldn't you use that? Jerome -- mailto:jeberger@free.fr http://jeberger.free.fr Jabber: jeberger@jabber.fr
