This will turn it off:
#setterm -cursor off
But I have to log in and run it locally.  - is there some way to do it from the 
remote shell?

Same for #setterm -blank 0 - If I don't do that, the screen saver kicks in and turns off the monitor while I am watching the movie.


Redirect stdin/out/err from the terminal attached to the console.

Just stdout is all you need, like this:

setterm -blank 0 -cursor off >/dev/vc/1

Of course, replace "/dev/vc/1" with the actual name of your virtual console.
