Happy New Year all!
Leo, I believe there is a linux kernel parameter which will do what you
require:
consoleblank= [KNL] The console blank (screen saver) timeout in
seconds. Defaults to 10*60 = 10mins. A value of 0
disables the blank timer. [1]

there is always the option of using the serial console to catch any
messages if your client & server machines have serial available!
