Shutdown montitor via ssh

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list

I was trying to execute the 

xset dpms force off

command via ssh on a remote machine but it keeps saying 

xset: unable to open display ""

When I am physically on that machine, doing the same command results in the 
montitor shutting off.

I tried ssh -X, and ssh -x, tried DISPLAY=:0.0 xset but none of it works.

Anyone has a clue?


WIth kind regards


Andy
