OK. Thanks to people who responded on this. Couple just suggested to run applications over ssh and X, which isn't an option in this case. They have a machine in restricted section of a datacenter with a vga card and vga to fibre converter which trails some distance to a big screen in an ops room. There is no network access to the box from the ops room. It seemed like an issue where some users had inadvertently set up DPMS on their account. This will blank the monitor output after a certain amount of idle seconds. (Default for us was 1440). This was checked with :- # find /export/home -name dt.settings -exec egrep -li "dpmsenable:.*1" {} \; /export/home/<user>/.dt/sessions/current/dt.settings etc We then just changed the following entries :- Dtsession*ShutDownState: 1 Dtsession*DPMSStandby: 1440 Dtsession*DPMSEnable: 1 Dtsession*DPMSOff: 1800 Dtsession*DPMSSuspend: 1620 Dtsession*ShutDownMode: 4 to Dtsession*ShutDownState: 1 Dtsession*DPMSStandby: *0* Dtsession*DPMSEnable: *0* Dtsession*DPMSOff: *0* Dtsession*DPMSSuspend: *0* Dtsession*ShutDownMode: 4 Hope this helps someone Dave _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Sep 18 06:59:27 2008
