Not too long ago I wrote about an ‘odd job’ command line tool, but today’s tip focuses on a command line tool which is specifically for controlling power functions: Wizmo.
Wizmo allows you to do tasks such as:
- Turn off your monitor(s)
- Put your computer into standby or hibernation
- Mute/unmute, turn up or down your speaker volume
- Utilize the “gravitron” screensaver
Wizmo is a very small application and offers a lot more features than the one listed above. I have started using this tool at the end of scripts to put the computer into either standby or hibernation when it is done. Additionally, it is nice to have a simple shortcut you can run which turns off your monitors instead of waiting for the Windows timer.
