Me again,

as already posted, I use DSL on a very old 468.
I can't use X but I'm happy with the console.
But I really need to deactivate the blackout of the screen after a few minutes.
Any hint is very welcome!

No.  The ampersand is used to launch processes in the background so that a shell/script can continue its business.  An application like xset, which runs quickly and then closes, doesn't need to run in the background.  On the other hand, the ampersand doesn't need to be left out either.   Programs such as dock apps require it because they don't close.  If the program doesn't close the .xinitrc script cannot continue unless the app is launched in the background.

I'm back on this topic.

What I forgot to say, is that I dont run X (fluxbox) but that I'm in the shell.
So your hints wont help me, not?

Any other suggestions?
