- Or, if you hate using that 'Office' thing...
-
- /usr/bin/scrset is what you want. Pass it the number of seconds you want
- the blank timeout to be, i.e. scrset 300
-
- In /usr/lib/ua you can create a file called .blanktime
- In that file, put the number of seconds you want the screen to wait before
- it blanks. Then, if you are using the stock /etc/rc it does the following
- at boot time:
-
- if [ -s /usr/lib/ua/.blanktime ]
- then
- scrset `cat /usr/lib/ua/.blanktime`
- fi
