Greetings fellow debheads; I would like to set my monitor power off times to be different during the night than during the day. To this end, I have added the following lines to my crontab (output with crontab -l):
0 10 * * * xset dpms 3600 0 0 30 0 * * * xset dpms 300 0 0 I have blank lines at the end of my crontab file. I never log out of X. I do use xscreensaver; it has an auto-enable time of ten minutes with locking. Other lines in my crontab file get run (two include an Esetroot to change my root background in X every two hours) -- so I am rather mystified why this won't change the timeout values. Using these commands by hand works just fine. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks :) (no, I don't get email about it -- but that is because, when openldap broke, it was a whole lot easier to remove MTAs than to fix the ldap. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
