[comp.unix.questions] user inactivity and screen blanking

markb@giga.UUCP (Mark Baranowski) (04/11/90)

No, no, no, no.  Every respondent to this request seems to be missing
the boat.  The original poster wanted much more than just a
screen-blank program.  He wanted a program that would automatically
lock-up the console after an appropriate amount of inactivity and
require a password from the user to re-enable the console.  If anyone
knows of such a critter I would sure like to get my hands on it.

How many times have any of us wandered away from our terminals for a
"quick" break and end up getting detoured?  Sometimes my detours last
for days after which when I return I discover that I forgot to log
off.
