setterm 'reset'

[Brian McKee]

I have a script that I run from a console.  I disable the screen
blanking before it starts and re-enable it afterwards so I can see
where it's at from across the room.  Problem is the 're-enable screen
blanking' part doesn't seem to work.

I disable it with
  /usr/bin/setterm -powersave off -blank 0
and enable it with
 /usr/bin/setterm -powersave powerdown -powerdown 10 -blank 5

Anybody see what's wrong here?
