I'll give it a try. I installed the service file in /usr/lib/systemd/system and then enabled it. (I guess I should create a package for it) Is this the reason console blanking quit working? The default was removed from /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank to turn it over to systemd, but no one ever implemented the service for systemd? I don't get why for 15 years console blanking worked perfectly and then it just quit working. Now we need to create a new service file just to get the default behavior back? Seems kind of crazy. Oh well, I'll let you know if it works (I just installed 4.16.12, and enabled the service before reboot -- time will tell. If it does, is there any interest in creating a "console-blanking" package to install the service? Seems like it should be there and be set to 600 by default. Thanks again. -- David C.

Indeed. Is it for consumption of users whose shell you don't know? Is it for scripts, like cron jobs? In the former case, see what is in /etc/shells, and drop a script to /etc/profile.d, one for each shell. But that will be for login shells. In the latter case, I am afraid you need to define it each time... Finally, a bit of a puzzle, what are you going to do when the network goes down, i.e. should the variable be unset or updated? In other words, how certain are you that the IP address remains unchanged throughout the machine uptime? -- Leonid Isaev -- Subject: Digest Footer ___ arch-general mailing list arch-general@archlinux.org https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-general -- End of arch-general Digest, Vol 163, Issue 29 *
