How do you keep Solaris awake?

[xtd]

Our Solaris server keeps "sleeping" after a few hours when no keyboard interaction is done. That is to say, the screen becomes black as if it is shutdown, but is actually active based on the light signal at the monitor. Don't exactly know how long it waits before it closes the screen to black. Very rarely, I can still catch it before sleeping as when I press any key in the keyboard the screen prompts me with the password or goes to the desktop. But more frequent than not, I am forced to press the upper-most right corner button of the keyboard, looks to me like restart button. Pressing that button can either bring me to the console where I am running my software or it can hardboot the machine, instances of consideration for this I am not sure.

Bottomline, I wish to know if there is any setting that I can modify to tell my machine not to "sleep" the time I leave it open overnight because this also stops any activity that I'm meaning to process overnight.

I was told I can try to use "xset s off" to turn off the screensaver, but I do not have X Windows, no GUI.

Any other ideas?
