Here's a simple terminal-locking shell script that works under 4.2bsd. -----------------CUT HERE--------------------- : This is a shar archive. Extract with sh, not csh. : This archive ends with exit, so do not worry about trailing junk. echo 'Extracting lock' sed 's/^X//' > lock << '+ END-OF-FILE lock' Xlock + END-OF-FILE lock chmod 'u=rw,g=r,o=r' 'lock' echo ' -rw-r--r-- 1 mff 5 Sep 13 08:42 lock (as sent)' echo -n ' ' /bin/ls -l lock exit 0 Of course, it might not be too useful if you're running something else...
