[computer-tech-support: 8072] Run Command After Monitor Powers Down

I create scripts that automate all kinds of repetitive
processes. I'm not a programmer, but without scripts
I wouldn't have enough time to eat, sleep, etc!

There are endless apps that will power your monitor up or
down. Some are set to work at a specific time, or after a
download completes. I need a little applet that responds
to Windows own power options.

Let's say you set your monitor to turn off after 15 or 20
minutes of system inactivity. The applet I'm searching
for would detect when the monitor is powered down and
run a simple command, like launching an executable or
a simulated key press.

Among the blizzard of monitor apps there must be one
that will do the job. If it exists, I can't find it.

Thanks guys.
