If I toggle Caffeine on, it stays on indefinitely, although this MBP blacks out if I move the cursor into the top right corner or if I close the lid. By control clicking the menubar icon I also have the options to stay awake for 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes. Beats messing around with Command lines. I suspect you are mistaken, VDK.
