[net.sources] Terminal Locking

mff@wuphys.UUCP (Swamp Thing) (09/13/85)

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...
