[mythtv-users] DPMS

[Bill Nary]

I was working on this so I could put my monitor to sleep and unsleep with
the power button on my remote.  I just now got it working.
 There's a script that checks the status of the monitor and switches it.
 It's a little more than you were looking for, but it works in an
on/off capacity. I'm
almost certain that if the monitor is turned off by the timer, the script
would recognize it as off and turn it on.

Details are here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DPMS

I substituted 'button = POWER' for 'button = Red'

I've also seen a version of the script that kills mythtv, so if it's playing
a show, you don't still hear the audio, and then restarts it on wakeup
command.
