Hi again,
This is an improved summary, since i already posted one.
The problem was how to preserve screens in idle consoles.
The solution is the program blankscreen.
"Brian T. Wightman" <wightman@sol.acs.uwosh.edu> suggested
xlock -nolock. Thats ok but doesn't solve our problem as we want to
do that without a user logged in at the console.
David Keegel <djk@cyber.com.au> suggested xautolock, which can run the
xlock program automatically when the Sun has been idle ... but has the
same problem.
bern@TI.Uni-Trier.DE (Jochen Bern) and
hendefd@mail.auburn.edu mentioned bankscreen. This program in not
bundled with solaris 2.3 but i got it from a Sun with 4.1.3 and
it worked.
hendefd@mail.auburn.edu also suggested this nice script:
/etc/rc3.d/S88sblnk
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
'start')
#
# Start the Screenblank daemon
#
if [ -f /usr/openwin/bin/screenblank ]; then
/usr/openwin/bin/screenblank &
echo "Screen Blank started."
fi
;;
'stop')
# Kill the SunSolve Search Daemon
for f in `/usr/bin/ps -ef | grep screenblank | grep -v grep | awk
'{print $2}'`; do
/usr/bin/kill $f
done
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/rc3.d/S88sblnk { start | stop }"
;;
esac
Tank you all very much
