Tell your display to sleep after 1 minute in the Energy Saver prefpane? (I have F16 bound to the Energy Saver pane via Quicksilver for exactly this purpose)

There's an app out there called Brightness Control that can alter the brightness of an iMac's screen beyond the System Preferences slider. I'm not sure if it allows for instant sleeping of the display - just dropping the brightness to 0 makes a load of noise though, IIRC.

Hey everybody,

What can I use to cause the Mac's display to sleep on command?

I want to write a little app that will allow me to press a button (Command+F13, for instance) and instantly sleep the display.

I could really care less whether or not the computer locks, as long as it doesn't sleep completely; I want the machine to keep downloading torrents overnight without keeping me awake.

Hold F1 for 2 seconds?

Uh, that doesn't seem to work on my 1st-gen iMac G5.

Any other thoughts?
