I use setterm --blank=60 to prevent the screens from blanking after
whatever the default is (10 minutes?). I don't know where the actual
setting is, though. But you could put it in an rc.local file with
whatever value you want to use so it is set on startup.
Thanks.
That looks like a fine solution if you are logged in on a terminal and
you want to change it for your current terminal. I'm not sure how that
would work from rc.local. How would I tell it to do that to all the
vt's? (I tried the stdin and stdout as redirection targets but it
didn't seem to work.)
