Hello,
I google-ed a lot, but it seems that there is no trivial solution to
this point.
I extensively use console (and tmux), ending up with a lot of
simultaneously open shells; I normally suspend my laptop when I leave,
so it would be a security enhancement to automatically lock all of them.
Trying to follow the same approach I use to lauch xlock for the X
session, I run the following script from my .kshrc:
just22@poseidon:[~]> cat ./bin/console-lock
#!/bin/sh
# Lock console when SIGUSR1 is received
trap '/usr/bin/lock -np' USR1
# Daemonize...
while /usr/bin/true; do
sleep 1
done
just22@poseidon:[~]> egrep -A1 -B3 console-lock /home/just22/.kshrc
# In console, activate colour support and auto-lock
if [ "${TERM}" == "vt220" ]; then
export TERM=wsvt25
${HOME}/bin/console-lock &
fi
Now, when I send a USR1 signal to all the open console-lock processes
(manually or by means of /etc/apm/suspend):
just22@poseidon:[~]> pkill -USR1 -f ".*console-lock"
the lock command is correctly spawn in each console, but since the
parent process is in background, it is in background, too (resulting
useless, of course).
How could I improve the idea?
Of course, any suitable alternatives would be welcome.
Thanks in advance
