SCREENBLANK(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual SCREENBLANK(1)
NAME
screenblank - screen saver daemon for the Sun 3 and SPARC
SYNOPSIS
screenblank [-k | -m] [-d timeout] [-e timeout] [-f framebuffer]
DESCRIPTION
screenblank disables the framebuffer if the keyboard and mouse are idle
for a period of time, and re-enables the framebuffer when keyboard or
mouse activity resumes.
When killed with a SIGINT, SIGHUP, or SIGTERM, screenblank will re-enable
the framebuffer. The PID can be found in the file
/var/run/screenblank.pid.
The options are as follows:
-k Do not check the keyboard for activity.
-m Do not check the mouse for activity.
-d timeout
Wait the number of seconds specified by timeout, expressed in the
format `xxx.xxx', before disabling the framebuffer due to inac-
tivity. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
-e timeout
Wait the number of seconds specified by timeout, expressed in the
format `xxx.xxx', before re-enabling the framebuffer once activi-
ty resumes. The default is .25 seconds.
-f framebuffer
Use the framebuffer device framebuffer instead of the default
/dev/fb.
Note that the -k and -m flags are mutually exclusive.
