Xautolock monitors console activity under the X window system, and
|
|
|
|
|
fires up a program of your choice if nothing happens during a
|
|
|
|
|
user configurable period of time. 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.

One suggested use of autolock is like this:
|
|
|
|
|
xautolock -time 10 -locker xlock
