Look at setterm(1).

Try:
 setterm -blank 0

This works only, if you have minimal one login after reboot... 
Is there a possibility to get it without login ??? 

Thanks 
Michelle

No need to login. Just add the command to a file in /etc/init.d/ and
make sure that file is executable and is linked to the various
/etc/rc?.d directories. See the update-rc.d manpage.

I understand what you mean. setterm outputs an escape code like:

   \033[9;0]

only when the TERM is con or linux.

The parameter 9 is for set blanking interval.

This escape sequence is used by setterm_command() in the Linux kernel's
linux/drivers/char/console.c which does a poke_blanked_console().

I wonder if there is a tool to directly call those kernel functions?

 No need to login. Just add the command to a file in /etc/init.d/ and
 make sure that file is executable and is linked to the various
 /etc/rc?.d directories. See the update-rc.d manpage.

Or you can just set the BLANK_TIME variable in /etc/console-tools/config to 0, 
and this will be done automatically with the rest of the initialization.  No 
need to set it twice.

Or maybe check your video monitor for built-in turn off.
