slock (1)

NAME

slock - simple X screen locker

SYNOPSIS

[-v ] [cmd [arg ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

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.conf5 for maximum security:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "DontVTSwitch" "True"
        Option "DontZap"      "True"
EndSection

EXAMPLES

$ /usr/sbin/s2ram

CUSTOMIZATION

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.
