This is a simple script to turn the backlight of the official Raspberry Pi display on or off, or to display its state.
To use it, simply type backlight.sh to display the state,
backlight.sh on to turn the backlight on, and backlight.sh off
to turn the backlight off.
An aside: to enable console blanking (separate from the backlight), add
consoleblank=XX where XX is the inactivity timeout in seconds
(like 600 or so). This is not a screensaver for the desktop. This
applies only to the text console.
