I'm running linux clusters, mostly on SLES10. The servers are mostly blades, accessed via remote console. There is a real console in the server room, but switched off.I would like to disable the screen blanking as it serves no purpose and is anuisance. You have to press key to see if you are connected which is a pain. We are running in runlevel 3, so the console is in text mode, no X11 involved.
Disable screen blanking on text console

I've implemented and tested the following configuration, which works fine on sles10, my workhorse at the moment.In/etc/init.d/boot.localaddsetterm -blankit looks like that is all it takes. Thanks for Uku Loskit and Gilles for the push in the right direction.
