You can use this to automatically +start up a screen locker in case you tend to forget to do so manually +before having a coffee break. + +Xautolock will typically be used to lock the screen but it really +doesn't care what program you make it start. The only real assumption +made by xautolock is that a new countdown starts as soon as the +locker exits. + +I use xautolock with xlockmore in this way: + + xautolock -time 10 -locker xlock + +Note: this script calls /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf, which requires that directory + to be in your $PATH. Therefore, you will almost certainly need to + do "su -" instead of just "su" to build this. + +If you have any questions or comments about this script you are free to +contact me via e-mail: jick.nan AT gmail.com Enjoy! |
