I picked this up a long time ago and have it in /etc/init.d/local:
<cite>
set_dpms() {
echo -n "Setting DPMS for text console: "
setterm -blank 5 -powersave on
echo -en "\033[9;8]"
echo -en "\033[14;10]"
echo "done."
}
set_dpms

Without having traveled a great deal, I have seen countries in
which people think that agriculture can make no progress unless
the government supports experimental farms; that soon there will
no longer be any horses, if the government does not provide studs;
that fathers will not have their children educated, or will have
them taught only immorality, if the government does not decide
what it is proper to learn.
