<![CDATA[Screen "offline" during specific time of day]]>Hey guys

Besides using some kind of wake module, is it possible to just set MM up be shown during specific times of a day or maybe darken the screen during night time?

Thanks a lot

Regards,

You can set crontab -e to stop mm .
Here is the lines from my crontab -e

# Turn off display Sunday - Thursday at 21h00
00 21 * * 0-4 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn off display Friday - Saturday at 21h00
00 21 * * 5,6 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 6h45
45 06 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm
# Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 7h30
30 07 * * 6,0 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm

My screen has no background and is black in color, then I set my bar to black with gray letters. That way when MM is not running the screen is really dark .
works pretty well for night time. Your mileage may vary…

There are addon modules that can do that I think
See the 3rd party list linked in the top menu
