[comp.sys.hp] auto dark of screen

kusalik@dvinci.USask.CA (Tomy Kusalik) (02/11/89)

Does anyone know of or have a good "auto dark" daemon for the
bit-mapped monitors on HP 3xx workstations?  I'm thinking of
something like "saver" which runs on the SUNs; a process
that keeps on eye on the keyboard and mouse and if nothing is going
on for a while, darkens the screen.

I use "xset" with the "s" option to blank the screen after n seconds.
This is, of course, under X11 (and probably under X10 as well).
Bumping the mouse causes the screen to be displayed again...
