Re: setterm -store doesn't stick

[Shaul Karl <shaulk@israsrv.net.il>]

I can not tell why -store does not store but a work around might be to put
something like the following lines in your .bashrc:

power_save() {
  if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
    setterm -powersave on
  fi
}

power_save

I'm trying to do a setterm -store (-powersave off -powerdown 20), but
every time I get a new logon screen (mingetty), everything gets reset to
default.  I used to be able to do this in RedHat (5.2, way-back-when),
also using mingetty, but now it won't work.

What am I doing wrong?
