The subject line says almost all... I am looking for a program or patch that
will turn the screen of the RT console dark after N minutes of no activity. 
When a key is typed (or the mouse moved) the screen should re-appear.

In case a screen blanker is impossible for some reason, I would like to know
if it is possible to make the console white letters on a black background
under AIX version 2.2.
This would enable us to save our CRTs with a simple program that sends a
clear screen sequence when no one is logged in for more than N minutes.
