I have an external HP monitor. I turn it off and it turns off. Turn it on
and it turns on. Still, the built in monitor cannot be shut off... so I have
a hot corner for putting the displays to sleep. No random mouse movement
wakes it up (why would it)?

Also can script, if I want, to have the monitor be woken up by script with
built in "caffeinate" command.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
