That would make it difficult to slip into /etc/rc.local . > man setterm --blank [0-60|force|poke] (virtual consoles only) Sets the interval of inactivity, in minutes, after which the screen will be automatically blanked (using APM if available). Without an argument, it gets the blank status (returns which vt was blanked, or zero for an unblanked vt). The force option keeps the screen blank even if a key is pressed. The poke option unblanks the screen. Double Dash :-) :-) -- Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
