  11. Hi,
  12.  
  13. I want to turn-on/turn-off the screens of remote workstations from a 
  14. master host. Running Indigos/4.0.1 the C routine 'blankscreen' works
  15. as expected if a program employing 'blankscreen' is started from
  16. the (local) console. However, if the program is started from a remote 
  17. login 'blankscreen' does nothing.
  18.  
  19. Any hint would be very much appreciated.
  20.  
  21. Regards
  22.
