1 slock 2 ===== 3 Simple X display locker. This is the simplest X screen locker we are aware of. 4 It is stable and quite a lot of people in our community are using it every day 5 when they are out with friends or fetching some food from the local pub. 6 7 Configuration 8 ------------- 9 slock is configured via `config.h` like most other suckless.org software. Per 10 default it will turn the screen red on any keyboard press, if you are less 11 paranoid and turning red on failed login attempts suffices for you, set 12 `failonclear = 0` in `config.h`. 13 14 Development 15 ----------- 16 You can [browse](//git.suckless.org/slock) its source code repository or get a 17 copy using the following command: 18 19 git clone https://git.suckless.org/slock 20 21 Download 22 -------- 23 * [slock-1.5](//dl.suckless.org/tools/slock-1.5.tar.gz) (2022-10-04) 24 25 Xautolock 26 --------- 27 slock can be started after a specific period of user inactivity using 28 [xautolock](http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/X11/screensavers/). The command 29 syntax is: 30 31 xautolock -time 10 -locker slock 32 33 Simpler alternatives to xautolock might be 34 [xssstate](//git.suckless.org/xssstate/) or 35 [xss](http://woozle.org/~neale/src/xss.html). 36
