xnlock - amusing lock screen program with message for
passers-by

_x_n_l_o_c_k is a program that acts as a screen saver for work-
stations 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 messages 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.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
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 con-
trol characters are not translated and should not
be used. The resource available 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 autor-
ized 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 over-
rides 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 reverseVideo 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.
