[SOLVED]How to stop the screen from shutting it self off?

First of all, spare me the "search/man/wiki-first"-talk becouse I have already done that as far as my knowledge of the subject reach. If you think you seen a thread like this with a solution, please link to it without any retarded comments.

Now to my question: How do I , from the commandline, stop the display from shutting it self off automatically after awhile?
