Do you want the display switched to standby (to save power and lifetime) and/or lock the console session to prevent unauthorised access?

(1) I asked an "or" question and it would help if you told us which one(s) of the given alternatives you mean. (2) Could you please edit your post when you want to clarify something or add information? ItâÂÂs best to have everything relevant in one place. Additionally, comments may be deleted for various reasons. Thanks.
