    @cowboysdude that’s exactly what i did all 3 files are located in Pi home directory as well as wiringPi.
    sudo chmod there too & crontab too…
    but not working… there should be something else.
    i try to run your .sh file so the outcome is that monitor_off file works well but the monitor_on file displays the following message:
    0_1477938102221_Capture d’écran 2016-10-31 à 19.19.42.png
    would you mind to share with me YOUR following files plssssss =>
    0_1477938144578_Capture d’écran 2016-10-31 à 19.20.01.png
    thx you!

      @bibi go here:

      https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor

      download the monitor_on.sh and try running it again.

          Yes that’s why I gave you the new one to try… I believe you’re having a screen saver issue.

          The way I handled mine was to install xscreensaver and disable it :)

                  @cowboysdude @bhepler Thx for spending time to help me. i understand if you can’t help anymore.
                  but here my update : i installed Xscreensaver and disabled it but it’s working. the monitor switches off with /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o properly but with
                  /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p the screen stays black (backlight)
                  just for info im doing all this via SSH… maybe something to do with X forwarding and this message : xset: unable to open display “”…

                  Edit: i have found a command that allows to bring back the screen ! sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7. :)))
                  i have to check out how to implement this in an elegant way

                    Open up the monitor_on.sh and delete everything add:

                    sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

                    Save it and that should work for you :)

                      yep that’s exactly what i wanted to later today :))
                      nevertheless, I found on the forum another way to avoid using sudo… i assume it’s better practice but i am not able to confirm this.
                      fyi:
