Answer 1

As others said, don't use Java.

If you use Windows, you might want to have a look at the monitor off and lockws commands of NirCmd.

Answer 2

That is a function that is already implemented by your operating system. It’s tied in so deeply with operation system and hardware dependent functions that it’s impossible to in pure Java, anyway.

Answer 3

Set your screen saver and energy saving settings and be done with.

In the time saved not writing this in Java you can do some recycling :o)

Answer 4

It'll be easier to do this:
ALT+CTR+DEL -> lock comp -> Press monitor power switch.

Answer 5

You could build a cool robot arm, controlled by a Java program, which presses the monitor button for you. Check out http://mindstorms.lego.com
