How can I configure xscreensaver to automatically load for every user of X window on my workstations?
See the thread in the archives titled "bash profile does not get loaded" and substitute xscreensaver for profile.
create a file called
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_xscreensaver
and in it put the command line that you want to use for xsreensaver like
xscreensaver &
the number at the start of the name dictates the order in which the scripts get run (99 will get run after everything else), the xfree86-common bit means it gets run for all WMs (i think) and the bit after the underscore can be whatever you like (hopefully describes what the script does :)).
Almost helps...
I created a script: nice /usr/bin/xscreensaver echo date > /tmp/screensaver
and there is no file /tmp/screensaver so it's not being executed. permissions: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56 2004-09-29 06:38 99xfree86-common_xscreensaver
Got it working.
Needed to change to file name from '99' to '98' change the string to: nice /usr/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash & and it's working well now.
BTW, the '&' is really important.
