screen saver

[JBL]

hiya all

i have put together a 8 cam system and it all works like a charm
only one thing i cant find the setting for
im not a avid user of linux but i know windows ok
so i will express th problem in windows terminology

i have my power controll in win machines turn off monitor after 30 minuits
not using a screen saver ,but in power options so i wiggle the mouse and it turns on again

my zoneminder is by default or i did something during install
working the same way screen turns off after 30 minuits i wiggle the mouse and it turns on again

i want to turn off this feature so the monitor never turns off unless i turn
off the monitor with monitor power button

some place in one of the folders there is a setting for this
i would change number after the statement from 30 to 0

but i dont know where to look
