Command to Turn Screen On & Off
 
Friends,

Does anyone know a CLI command which would turn the screen on or off via an SSH session? The reason I want this is because VNC (x11vnc) only works with the screen on, but I don't always need it on. I want to SSH to the N900 to turn the screen on or off.

If anyone knows, or has ideas, please reply.
Thanks

This command unlocks the touchscreen and the display:

Code:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:unlocked
Hope it helps! :)

the following locks it:
