"useful to some folks"

this seems handy, and i couldn't remember it, having saved it in a script for convenience sake.  but it works well for keeping screen awake for me in linux.  i'll just share what i use for my script files, short and sweet:

gui-wake.sh:
 #!/bin/bash
xset -dpms; xset s off

gui-unwake.sh:
#!/bin/bash
xset -dpms; xset s on

they are probably self explanatory, but the 'gui-wake.sh' keeps the screen awake, and the 'gui-unwake.sh' puts it back to normal.

 cheers!  (your welcome)

:P

[EDIT]

I had found the main part of this code online at some point but searching now I can't find it.  I had to boot a Thinkpad with the script as I had reinstalled debian to the desktop*
