you can just download this file above and extract SleepDisplay into your Applications folder and be done, but I wanted to see the source and then compile it myself, so I did the steps below...
First:
save the following (between the lines) as a text file, use "SleepDisplay.rtf"
===========
// gcc -Wall SleepDisplay.c -o SleepDisplay -framework CoreFoundation -framework IOKit
#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
#include <IOKit/pwr_mgt/IOPMLib.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
io_registry_entry_t r = IORegistryEntryFromPath(kIOMasterPortDefault, "IOService:/IOResources/IODisplayWrangler");
if (r) {
IORegistryEntrySetCFProperty(r, CFSTR("IORequestIdle"), kCFBooleanTrue);
IOObjectRelease(r);
}
return 0;
}
===========
Second:
change the extention .rtf to .c so now the file name is "SleepDisplay.c" to do this I ran in terminal:
mv SleepDisplay.rtf SleepDisplay.c
Third:
run terminal in the same folder as the file and copy the next line into it & hit return:
gcc -Wall SleepDisplay.c -o SleepDisplay -framework CoreFoundation -framework IOKit
if it doesn't work you might have to use "su" first and type in your admin password then run the command again.
Fourth:
test:
double click the new file "SleepDisplay" to make the displays turn off instantly
Fifth:
put the file "SleepDisplay" in "/Applications" folder and call it with scripts or command line for automation.

If you have XCode installed, you're going to automatically open .c file
