Re: [kde-linux] Triggering KDE screen lock from script?

I was wondering is anyone on this list would know how I could trigger
the KDE screen lock from a script?

Once a user is logged in I would like to run a couple of scripts that
could trigger the screen lock/saver to engage if certain conditions
arose, but so far I have found nothing helpful in the way of hooks. I'm
talking about a standard, boring bash shell script for the moment
(that's all I can manage for the moment, I haven't coded anything in 20
odd years or so, so Python is a little way off yet :-).

Ideas? Suggestions? Beer (you need to be in Zurich for that)?

I think it may not be specifically KDE related, maybe it's more general
call to xscreenlock, but how would it pick the right screen if more
sessions are open?

Use the following command:

dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock

Kind regards,
