You could try SCRSAV.TXT in LIBrary 3 of CompuServe's UnixForum (which was
designed to blank a terminal's screen if there was no user logged in on that
terminal), and combine it with IDLER.C in LIB 9 of CIS' UnixForum (which was
designed to log a user off after a period of inactivity).

You'd then have your very own idleblank.c code...
