How about using socket activated service on the pi to receive data over a port? That's could automatically handle turning on/off the display whenever the service starts. It's a while ago and I don't use it any more but I did this, to send audio to my pi:

That would be one nice way make the whole thing cleaner on top of turning it into a deb package. For now, it's really hacky but has proved to fulfill my needs.

I may or may not take the time to polish this up in the future. In the meantime, I've licensed the repo under GPL so if someone feels like doing it, they're more than welcome to.
