Maybe I need to clafiry a bit.
I am trying to display the Nagios and MRTG output in these PCs using a
browser. I disabled apmd and there is no screensaver running. I want
to keep the screens up all the time.
I am using RedHat 9 with gnome desktop.

Is this an X window console....or a straight CTRL-ALT-F1 console? There

A real engineer only resorts to documentation when the keyboard dents on the forehead get too noticeable.

Hi,
RedHat (and most Linux distro and Unix flavors) automatically blanks
the screen (both text console and X display) when there is no keyboard
or mouse activity for some time. I always thought it is a good
feature, preventing "burns" on the monitor. Until I decided to
migrate our datacenter's monitoring PC from Windows to RedHat.
We are using a combination of Nagios and MRTG to monitor our servers
and the network bandwidth. The resulting HTML pages are displayed in
some Windows-based PCs manned by datacenter operators. So the good
behavior of Linux to blank the console is not applicable here.
Things I have tried:
* disable the power management in the BIOS
* call "setterm -blank 0" during boot up (works only for VT)
* disable apmd
Still, my consoles go blank. Any other way to disable this feature?
Thanks in advance.
