In Xwindows, this can be done through xset.
xset s blank # set the xserver to blank the screen.
xset s 1 # 1-second timeout to blank the screen.
I remember in the old SunOS 4.x days, there was a program called
screen-blank or somesuch that would also blank the console after a certain
amount of time. This seems to have disappeared with Solaris. Perhaps you
could use that under binary-compat, or find something equivalent.
