SCREENBLANK(1)          NetBSD General Commands Manual          SCREENBLANK(1)


NAME
screenblank -- screen saver daemon for wscons and FBIO machines
SYNOPSIS
screenblank [-k | -m] [-d inactivity-timeout] [-e wakeup-delay] [-f framebuffer] [-i input-device] screenblank {-b | -u}
DESCRIPTION
screenblank disables the framebuffer if the keyboard and mouse are idle for a period of time, and re-enables the framebuffer when keyboard or mouse activity resumes. When killed with a SIGINT, SIGHUP, or SIGTERM, screenblank will re-enable the framebuffer. The pid can be found in the file /var/run/screenblank.pid. The options are as follows: -b Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to blank the framebuffer, then exit. -d inactivity-timeout Wait the number of seconds specified by inactivity-timeout, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before disabling the frame- buffer due to inactivity. The default is 600 seconds (10 min- utes). -e wakeup-delay Wait the number of seconds specified by wakeup-delay, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before re-enabling the framebuffer once activity resumes. The default is .25 seconds. -f framebuffer Use the framebuffer device framebuffer instead of the default /dev/fb. -i input-device Add input-device to the list of devices to monitor for activity. -k Do not check the keyboard for activity. -m Do not check the mouse for activity. -u Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to unblank the framebuffer, then exit. Note that the -k and -m flags are mutually exclusive.
