Simple program that detects when windows will shutdown and turn off your display
Displays are in sleep mode when the computer is off but my monitor blinks and emits way too much light in sleep mode. I am also too lazy to push the power button
note1: the program will obviously act like a deamon to monitor the shutdown event. It hides the terminal if you click on it.
nox.exe [screen_id] [screen_id] ...the screen_id is a number between 0 and the number of monitors connected
note2: if no arguments are provided to the program all monitors will be powered off
to run the program on startup you can write this on powershell
$toclose contains monitors ids that will be powered off, (the arguments of nox.exe)
$toclose = 1
mkdir $Env:Appdata\nox;
cp nox.exe $Env:Appdata\nox;
$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell;
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Env:Appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\nox.lnk" );
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Env:Appdata\nox\nox.exe";
$Shortcut.Arguments = $toclose
$Shortcut.Save();After restart if nox.exe is present on the process manager list it means that the program is working
note: if no arguments are provided to the program all monitors will be powered off
