Yesterday while working to enable lcnc to control machine power, I noted that logging in again, the konsole sessions I had started were all there, every time, so I may has miss-spoke earlier. But locking the screen in this use case is NOT acceptable. I can xset to kill dpms, but the next time I look 15 minutes later it has been re-enabled. NONE of this getting in the way of controlling what can be dangerous machinery in case it messes up is acceptable. I haven't had a crt that needed a burn preventer in a decade, why the hell do we have to put up with that crap in 2020? Screen blanking if its even enabled, should be controlled by an env variable we can set in the script that launches lcnc, and clear in the shutdown/cleanup script. So while linuxcnc is running, it cannot blank the screen or steal focus. Thanks J. Ray. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
