Non-XWindows Monitor PowerSave Mode

[rruth computer org]

How do I get RH 7.2 to place my monitor in power-save mode when I am NOT using 
X-Windows (ie. no XServer running.) ???

Back in the RH 6.2 days the following line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local would do 
this, it does not work now:

/usr/bin/setterm -powersave powerdown -powerdown 10

Thanks
