[SOLVED] CentOS 7.3 setterm

kd0 · 08-26-2017, 06:17 PM

im running centos 7.3 and i found it hibernating or suspended after a day at the terminal (no xwindows, virtual box)

i know of a setterm command to stop this

i tried putting it in rc.d

/usr/bin setterm -blank 0 -powersave off

but that doesnt work

how do i get this command to execute at the startup without having to login and punch it in manually anytime oh say, the power goes out?

The commands I put in file /etc/rc.d/rc.local get executed at startup for me on Fedora. I think I created it from scratch, that is, I don't think it existed originally.

Following on from what KenJackson has said, you might what to take a look at this: https://www.joe0.com/2016/01/03/how-...e-in-centos-7/

ah that did not work either im afraid hmm.. strange, would i have to login as root for that to work?

i think it may be solved, i did not put the /usr/bin setterm -blank 0 -powersave 0ff ... i just put setterm in my .sh script lol.. it isnt going blank now, i think it would of screen saved by now if it was going to, and im not logged in as root either.. PERFECT! thanks for every thing guys/gals
