Re: [computer-tech-support: 8073] Run Command After Monitor Powers Down

I think to get access to such an event you need to check the windows API's, because i don't think any app by default could know something like that, but i believe windows has API's that makes it easier to receive a notification when an event like that happens

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.
