- Hi,
-
- I've compiled up xautolock on my 700 which does the following, Its a shame that
- the lock program in vue can't do this :-
-
- PURPOSE
- =======
-
- Xautolock is a program which monitors console activity, and starts up
- a program of your choice if nothing happens during a certain time
- interval. 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.
-
- By default it uses xlock to lock the screen any ideas how I can get it to use
- the lock screen program that called up when I hit the padlock in vue.
-
- The following options can be used with xautolock :-
- 106 % xautolock -help
-
- Usage : xautolock [-help][-version][-time minutes][-locker locker]
- [-notify margin][-bell percent][-corners xxxx]
- [-cornerdelay secs][-cornersize pixels][-noclose]
-
- -help : print this message and exit.
- -version : print version number and exit.
- -time minutes : time to lock screen [1 < minutes < 60].
- -locker locker : program used to lock.
- -notify margin : beep this many seconds before locking.
- -bell percent : loudness of the beep.
- -corners xxxx : corner actions (0, +, -) in this order :
- topleft topright bottomleft bottomright
- -cornerdelay secs : time to lock screen in a `+' corner.
- -cornersize pixels : size of corner areas.
- -noclose : do not close stdout and stderr.
-
- Defaults :
-
- time : 10 minutes
- locker : xlock
- notify : don't beep
- bell : 40%
- corners : 0000
- cornerdelay : 5 seconds
- cornersize : 10 pixels
-
- 107 %

- Andy.
