SLOCK(1) BSD General Commands Manual SLOCK(1)
NAME
slock — simple X screen locker
SYNOPSIS
slock [-v] [cmd [arg ...]]
DESCRIPTION
slock is a simple X screen locker. If provided, cmd [arg ...] is executed
after the screen has been locked.
OPTIONS
-v Print version information to stdout and exit.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
To make sure a locked screen can not be bypassed by switching VTs or
killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it is recommended to dis-
able both in xorg.conf(5) for maximum security:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "True"
Option "DontZap" "True"
EndSection
EXAMPLES
$ slock /usr/sbin/s2ram
CUSTOMIZATION
slock can be customized by creating a custom config.h from config.def.h
and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
