Easy multi-monitor management on/off/sleep

[Nattan]

Well if you are like me and have more than one monitor, it can be a pain to turn them all on and off ( i have 3 ).

I use this free program called Nir command:

It allows you control a lot of functionality of your pc and it is very easy to set up with desktop shortcuts.

Example:

I have a shortcut on my desktop that puts my computer to sleep along with all my monitors:

target: nircmdc.exe cmdwait 6000 monitoroff cmdwait 1000 standby

it turns off your monitors in 6 seconds then puts, the computer to sleep. this way you can cancel it if you didnt mean to. Then you just hit a key on your keyboard to wake everything, you will have to configure power settings to ssd's if you want to wake using them, never have them sleep otherwise the pc doesn't wake properly.

the program has a lot of functionality aside from this, but it is what I tend to use it for the most.
