scrblank

A scrblank script simplifies using xset to set screen blanking options in X Window System, both the "Screen Saver" and DPMS ones. When you use a custom Window Manager without a Power Manager (like i3 in my case), you can bind it to the shortcuts to easily toggle screen blanking.

Configuration:

There is a DEFAULT variable in the script which defines the default screen blanking time in seconds. It is by default 3600 which equals an hour. You can adjust it so it fits your needs.

Usage:

./scrblank [off|default|<number_of_seconds>]

• off - disables screen blanking
• default - sets up default screen blanking
• <number_of_seconds> - sets up screen blanking after a defined number of seconds

Enjoy!
