Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This software helps you add a little more security to your desktop. It does so by detecting one of your bluetooth devices, most likely your mobile phone, and keeping track of its distance. If you move away from your computer and the distance is above a certain level (no measurement in meters is possible) for a given time, it automatically locks your desktop (or starts any other shell command you want).
All action commands can be edited via gui now.
Logging is now available - to syslog or a normal file.
An rfcomm channel scanner allows now to use any bluetooth device for range checking.

I just saw your question was not answered yet so here is the command to switch the display off:
xset dpms force off
You may combine it with any other command via && or put it in a script that you call from BlueProximity.
