All, /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank is set to 0 by default in a change that occurred a while back. Since then, the normal text console will no longer blank or powerdown leaving your monitor on 24/7. This affects a couple of Arch servers I have. Since then I have just been turning the monitors off. Where in the boot/systemd startup can I call setterm to re-enable to normal console blank and powerdown? Remotely I can call: # TERM=linux setterm -blank 5 -powerdown 6 >/dev/tty0 </dev/tty0 to enable blank and powerdown post-boot, but I simply want to set this to be the default. Where best to set this? (passing the kernel parameter 'consoleblank=300' does not enable powerdown, so both must be set) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
