- PLEASE READ THE (SHORT) DOCUMENTATION, OR YOU'LL HAVE TO REBOOT !
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This little hack was inspired by an earlier one
- by Mike Sinz, which appeared on one of the DevCon disks.
-
- It's purpose is quite obvious: alock grabs all inputevents
- and thus protects your Amiga from any unwanted access by
- the keyboard or the mouse until you enter the correct
- password.
-
-
- What does it do differently ?
-
- - You can call it from the WB or Shell
- - It has two tooltypes so you can customize it according
- to your preferences:
-
- PASSWORD=<password> - the password to be used for unlocking
-
- ACTION=INTERNAL|LIFE|<command> -
-
- INTERNAL = while locked, display the internal alock picture
- LIFE = while locked, play "Game of Life" with C= logos
- <command>= execute a command before starting to wait for the
- password.
- IMPORTANT: <command> must return to the alock task,
- otherwise you'll have to reboot the
- machine (alock won't be able to check
- for the password)
-
- Examples:
-
- alock PASSWORD=micky - lock your Amiga & display the internal
- alock picture, unlock by entering "micky"
-
- alock PASSWORD=micky ACTION=LIFE - lock your Amiga & play the
- "Game of Life", unlock by entering "micky"
-
- alock PASSWORD=micky "ACTION=run >NIL: vt dpaint:pictures/lock.iff"
- Display the picture "dpaint:pictures/lock.iff"
- unlock by entering "micky"
-
- alock - lock your Amiga & display the internal
- alock picture, unlock by entering "alock"
