[mythtv-users] Shell script to turn monitor off that almost works

[Wayne Thomas]

mute the volume before you turn the monitor off.

Instead of:
case "$MONITOR" in
"On")
xset dpms force standby
if [ "$VOLUME" != "0" ] ; then
mute
fi


Change it to:
case "$MONITOR" in
"On")
if [ "$VOLUME" != "0" ] ; then
mute
fi
xset dpms force standby

I think you will find the action of muting the volume was waking the
screen up.  The first time you pressed the button this is what has
occured; the second time you press it the volume is already muted so
the mute call does not occur.
