[comp.sys.hp] screenblanker

usenet@cps3xx.UUCP (Usenet file owner) (06/27/89)

Does anyone know of a screenblanker program that will disable 300 screen
not under X windows. (Something that will work when someone is logged
out.) Could you post where to get it.

                                         Thanx,

                                                Greg Fell

A quick and simple solution, but not completely what you want, is to put
the command, clear(1), in the .logout file.  It moves the cursor to the
top of screen memory, then clears the memory.  All you would have left
on the screen is the login prompt.

Note that clear(1) does *not* clear memory.  We have an HP 2397A
running in 2627A emulation on an HP 9825.  Clear will clear the
current page of memory, but the "page back" key will sent you back
through all pages to the top of memory.  It is fairly simple to
send the escape sequences to put the cursor at the top of memory
and then do a clear, which will insure that you have cleared all
memory.

And for an even cleaner way to do this alter the terminfo entry.
(I like to be able to view my .logout on my terminal!).

For a 70092:
