 |
|
| A little while ago my roomate managed to get into my system by mashing my keys (including Ctrl-Alt-Bkspce) and managed to gain access to my computer. In the process, he launched a few dozen applications by hitting the hot keys, and since then, I have fixed the problems, except for one irritation. I shutdown lineakd when the screensaver key is pressed so those keys are now inactive. But I have to reactivate them manually after I unlock the screen. Is there any way to get lineakd to relauch automatically upon unlocking? |

Take a look at the entry for the "-watch" option in the xscreensaver-command man page. There's an example in there that illustrates one way to do something like that.
