turn display off from command line

[Will Senn <will.senn%gmail.com@localhost>]

    I have been able to get my
      netbsd system working well so far, every problem with its
      solution. Y'all have been great :). Now, I'm figuring out sleep
      and whatnot.
      
      sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3
      
      definitely puts the laptop to sleep and it wakes up with power
      button press - yay. 
      
      How do I put the display to sleep from the terminal window?
      
      In CTWM, I can use:
      
      xset dpms force off
      
      and it goes off and comes back on when I press a key, which is
      great, but that's only in x. What about when I'm not in x? Is
      there a similar command for outside of x?
      
      Thanks,
      
      Will
