Once upon a time the system was blanking the screen after 15 minutes, regardless of anything I did. Eventually, someone pointed me in the direction of the /etc/rc.d/rc.setterm file. Once the "offending"
line was commented out, that solved the problem. You could also comment out the call to the rc.setterm file in the /etc/rc.d/rc.M file, which would achieve the same goal.
From the default /etc/rc.d/rc.M file,
Quote:
# Call the setterm init script to set screen blanking and power management
# defaults:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.setterm ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.setterm
fi

The default /etc/rc.d/rc.setterm file,
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This file provides the command line for the setterm utility to set the
# terminal attributes (primarily used for screen blanking and power
# management).
# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time, and powers down in one hour
# if the kernel supports APM or ACPI power management (default setting):
/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60
# Screen does not blank or use power management features:
#/bin/setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
|
By default, the rc.setterm file is executable.
