The process "/bin/screenblank -l -d 600" executes on a Sun 386i.  This
process will cause the screen to black out and print the bouncing Sun logo
after 10 minutes of keyboard and mouse inactivity.  Can someone explain
were screenblank gets started?   Is this strictly started by users,  or
does the system start it at boot time.  The command is not in the /etc/rc*
files.  The parent process is always /sbin/init.

The /etc/ttytab entry is:

console "/usr/etc/getty -n std.9600" sun          on      secure
