- From the settings under Brightness and Lock I set:
 - disable Dim screen to save power
 - Set turn off screen when inactive for: Never
 - Disable Lock
- Then I ran chrontab -e to schedule turning the display on and off.
 0 7 * * 1-5 xset -display :0 dpms force on
 0 15 * * 1-5 xset -display :0 dpms force off
Note that I'm not root and did not sudo either of these commands. Crontab needs to be set as the user who is logged in. And "-display :0" specifies the physical screens.
