OffMon

Instantly Put Your Monitor into Standby

Let's talk about energy conservation for a moment. We've all seen how computers have been outfitted with 'energy saver' modes where the monitor gets put into standby mode after a certain period of activity, sometimes up to 20 minutes. Now imagine how many computers are in use at any given moment around the world, and just consider how much energy is expended during those minutes between a user ceasing activity on a machine and the operating system triggering the monitor's standby mode. That's a lot of minutes that add up to a lot of energy unnecessarily spent waiting for standby mode.

OffMon is a neat little application that puts your monitor into standby mode as soon as you lock down your computer, which most people have to do anyway to comply with their company's security policy. With OffMon, you'll help the environment, consume less energy, and possibly save hundreds of dollars a year on the cost of electricity!

OffMon can be configured in a number of ways - you can have OffMon switch a monitor off when the computer is locked, or lock the computer or log out of the system when the monitor is switched off. OffMon loads when Windows boots, so you can be assured of greater energy efficiency on your network without requiring any active participation on the part of your users!
