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"

Warning:
This program is still under development. Use it at your own risk.
Congratulations:
To all of you, as you own a great machine.
