I read that setterm uses APM for blanking when available. That's obsolete. So I guess what I'm asking is, "Is it worth worrying about if you are able to solve the problem anyway?". Cheers, David.

I would like to understand, why two identically configured systems behave different. This means for me, that some configuration(s) do not take any effect.

No, this is not want I want. However, i know ybout kernel params. Best Hans > How about no blanking at all? > consoleblank=0 > https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

For me blank is the screen goes dark and this is setting the blanking of the screen - nothing to do with the console or terminal settings. It happens when I use RS232 to connect to the firewall for example, but I don't know how long it takes - if it is a minute or more.

Oh, it sounds like you already knew the answer before you asked us. For the benefit of others who may be searching the archives looking for the answer to this question, perhaps you could tell us which kernel parameter this is. (So, why did you ask us?)

May be, it is bash's TMOUT what you are looking for.
