Problem starting xautolock

Problem starting xautolock

Post by Mike Kroe » Tue, 18 Jun 1996 04:00:00



I have a program called xautolock which I recently compiled for
Solaris 2.4 using the sparcworks compiler.  The program automatically
calls xlock to lock the screen.  I'm having a problem finding a place
to start it when openwin starts.  When you run it from a shell command
line once you are already in openwin, everything works fine.  I want
to automate the startup. I tried running xautolock in openwin-init with
and without toolwait.  Problem is that when you shut down openwin,
the shutdown just hangs until you remotely log in and kill xautolock.

Does anyone have any experience or advice running this program.  I
believe it is a well known shareware product.

Hi,

Put following line in .xinitrc, works for me.

toolwait xautolock -corners +-00 -locker 'xlock -mode random' -notify 5

1. A simple problem; xautolock how ?

I urgently need a screen saver with pasword protection for my SOLARIS
2.5.1 systems which automatically starts after nn minutes of inactivity.
Using CDE I would also like to execute this from the LOCK  on the
desktop.
