Hi there,
I used to have things set up so that when I pressed 'A' on my remote, the display switched from my two monitors at my desk over to the big screen in front of my bed. As it did this, it also sent a little command to my second laptop on my desk, to turn off the screen, using nircmd and network event sender.
But, I've now changed the OS on the second laptop to Ubuntu. So my question is, how can I make Eventghost tell my Ubuntu laptop to turn off its screen?
Thanks for your time!

Eventghost + Ubuntu Screen Off
Re: Eventghost + Ubuntu Screen Off
Hello russco,
welcome to the forum!
There is a SSH plugin for EventGhost:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6021
You can use it to pass this command to your Notebook
xset -display :0 dpms force off
(if ssh is not installed on your Notebook yet, you can do by entering
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
into the ubuntu terminal window)
