MCPBlankerOff by Leo 'Nudel' Davidson <leo.davidson@keble.oxford.ac.uk>
A simple program to control the state of MCP's screen blanker and dimmer
(i.e. turn them on and off).

Why?

So that I can turn off the screen blanker when I'm on the internet or
watching a slideshow, and so that I can watch the on-screen progress of
something which takes a while to happen from the comfort of my bed
without having to throw my pillow at the mouse when the screen blanks. :-)
(Of course, you can just load MCP prefs when you want to turn the blanker
off, but this program lets you have it done automatically in a script).

After you reboot the old blanker setting will be restored.

That's all it does -- that's all I want it to do. :-)



Usage:

MCPBlankerOff Off          To stop the screen from blanking.
MCPBlankerOff Off Dimmer   To stop the screen from blanking and dimming.
MCPBlankerOff On           To renable screen blanking.
MCPBlankerOff On Dimmer    To renable screen blanking and dimming.
