power off lcd display

Kj4bnh:
Why does this code not work?
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "\33[14;10]" >dev/console'
If I change the 14 to 9 this activates the screen saver but the 14 does not turn the back light off.  Any hints?  Thanks Jim

Rich:
Hi Kj4bnh
How about:

--- Code: ---xset dpms force off
--- End code ---
I think  xset  is part of base. If not, you'll need to install  Xlibs.tcz.

Kj4bnh:
Rich, no joy, xset command not found.

gerald_clark:
Then you did not load Xlibs.

Rich:
Hi Kj4bnh
Also, in your original post, you meant  /dev/console  not  dev/console , right?

You do realize you set it to wait for 10 minutes before powering down. Did you wait that long?
