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 disable 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. 2016-08-23 SLOCK (1)
