I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 using a Nvidia GTX 950. How would I set up a script to run every time my display turns on or wakes up?

  • You don't mean when lid open? right? So by "turns on" what do you mean? or wakeup?

  • When I turn my monitor on. If it were a laptop then yeah, every time the lid opens. I don't know if there's a technical difference between pressing the power button or just waking it up by moving my mouse around after it's gone to sleep, would it affect the script?
