Simple question: How to prevent power save.

I am asking a simple question.  I have rh9 and want to have the monitor
not "turn off" and go into powersave mode.  I want to have top running,
and visable all the time.

Thanks
Dave

Probably also:

xset s off
xset -dpms

If you're in a graphical login, that's the way to go.  In case you're
sitting at the text console, you'll want to check the man page for
setterm(1), especially the section about the '-powersave' option.

HTH,
