XNLOCK(1L) XNLOCK(1L)
NAME
xnlock - amusing lock screen program with message for passers-by
SYNOPSIS
xxnnlloocckk [ _o_p_t_i_o_n_s ] [ _m_e_s_s_a_g_e ]
DESCRIPTION
_x_n_l_o_c_k is a program that acts as a screen saver for workstations running
X11. It also "locks" the screen such that the workstation can be left
unattended without worry that someone else will walk up to it and mess
everything up. When _x_n_l_o_c_k is running, a little man with a big nose and a
hat runs around spewing out messages to the screen. By default, the mes-
sages are "humorous", but that depends on your sense of humor.
If a key or mouse button is pressed, a prompt is printed requesting the
user's password. If a RETURN is not typed within 30 seconds, the little
man resumes running around.
Text on the command line is used as the message. For example:
% xnlock I'm out to lunch for a couple of hours.
Note the need to quote shell metacharacters.
In the absence of flags or text, _x_n_l_o_c_k displays random fortunes.
OPTIONS
Command line options override all resource specifications. All arguments
that are not associated with a command line option is taken to be message
text that the little man will "say" every once in a while. The resource
xxnnlloocckk..tteexxtt may be set to a string.
--ffnn _f_o_n_t_n_a_m_e
The default font is the first 18 point font in the _n_e_w _c_e_n_t_u_r_y _s_c_h_o_o_l_-
_b_o_o_k family. While larger fonts are recokmmended over smaller ones,
any font in the server's font list will work. The resource to use for
this option is xxnnlloocckk..ffoonntt.
--ffiilleennaammee _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
Take the message to be displayed from the file _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e. If _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
is not specified, _$_H_O_M_E_/_._m_s_g_f_i_l_e is used. If the contents of the file
are changed during runtime, the most recent text of the file is used
(allowing the displayed message to be altered remotely). Carriage
returns within the text are allowed, but tabs or other control charac-
ters are not translated and should not be used. The resource avail-
able for this option is xxnnlloocckk..ffiillee.
--aarr Accept root's password to unlock screen. This option is true by
default. The reason for this is so that someone's screen may be
unlocked by autorized users in case of emergency and the person run-
ning the program is still out to lunch. The resource available for
specifying this option is xxnnlloocckk..aacccceeppttRRoooottPPaasssswwdd.
--nnooaarr
Don't accept root's password. This option is for paranoids who fear
their peers might breakin using root's password and remove their files
anyway. Specifying this option on the command line overrides the
xxnnlloocckk..aacccceeppttRRoooottPPaasssswwdd if set to True.
--iipp Ignore password prompt. The resource available for this option is
xxnnlloocckk..iiggnnoorreePPaasssswwdd.
--nnooiipp
Don't ignore password prompt. This is available in order to override
the resource iiggnnoorreePPaasssswwdd if set to True.
--ffgg _c_o_l_o_r
Specifies the foreground color. The resource available for this is
xxnnlloocckk..ffoorreeggrroouunndd.
--bbgg _c_o_l_o_r
Specifies the background color. The resource available for this is
xxnnlloocckk..bbaacckkggrroouunndd.
--rrvv Reverse the foreground and background colors. The resource for this
is xxvvnnlloocckk..rreevveerrsseeVViiddeeoo.
--nnoorrvv
Don't use reverse video. This is available to override the reverseV-
ideo resource if set to True.
--pprroogg _p_r_o_g_r_a_m
Receive message text from the running program _p_r_o_g_r_a_m. If there are
arguments to _p_r_o_g_r_a_m, encase them with the name of the program in
quotes (e.g. xnlock -t "fortune -o"). The resource for this is
xxnnlloocckk..pprrooggrraamm.
