<div dir="ltr">The screensaver isn't part of Xfce but if you are using Xscreensaver there is manpage that shows how to configure it.

the time for all users (it's simpler this way).<br>

After a while, screensavers kick in for all accounts, wasting CPU <br>

the instance may be destroyed / recreated any time, losing any manual <br>
changes.<br>

Is there a way to disable the screensaver from the command line? If so, <br>
I could run that command (or set of commands) while the instance is <br>
provisioned with Ansible, disabling the screensaver for all accounts.<br>
