[systemd-devel] Console screen blanks while long running service executes

[Harry Goldschmitt]

I have a target that runs a service during boot on CentOS 7.1. The service takes a minimum of 30 sec. to run and a maximum of 15 min. While it's running, the console screen blanks. Before my service runs I see the expected roll call of services running with [OK], etc. After my service completes, the console comes back to life. My service uses echo to output progress messages that show up in the journal. Is there a way to keep the console from blanking?
