It locks the current session and will only exit if the current user can +authenticate themselves. The root user will also be able to unlock the +session, unless disabled at compile time. The command line arguments specify +plugins that should be loaded by vlock-main. See vlock-plugins(5) for more +information. +.PP +If plugin support is disabled at compile time, the only supported argument is +"all". +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +The following environment variables can be used to change the behavior of +vlock-main: +.PP +.B USER +.IP +If this variable is when vlock-main is run as root (uid 0) vlock locks +the screen as this user instead of root. The root password will still be able +to unlock the session, unless disabled at compile time. +.PP +.B VLOCK_ALL_MESSAGE +.IP +If this variable is set and all consoles are locked its contents will be used +as the locking message instead of the default message. +.PP +.B VLOCK_CURRENT_MESSAGE +.IP +If this variable is set and only the current consoles is locked its contents +will be used as the locking message instead of the default message. +.PP +.B VLOCK_MESSAGE +.IP +If this variable is set its contents will be used as the locking message +instead of the default. This overrides the former two variables. +.PP +.B VLOCK_TIMEOUT +.IP +Set this variable to specify the timeout (in seconds) after which the screen +saver plugins (if any) will be invoked. If this variable is unset or set to an +invalid value or 0 no timeout is used. See vlock-plugins(5) for more +information about plugins. +.PP +.B VLOCK_PROMPT_TIMEOUT +.IP +Set this variable to specify the amount of time (in seconds) you will have to +enter your password at the password prompt. If this variable is unset or set +to an invalid value or 0 no timeout is used. \fBWarning\fR: If this value is +too low, you may not be able to unlock your session. +.PP +.SH SIGNALS +Several signals are ignored. \fBvlock-main\fR will try to exit cleanly if +SIGTERM is received. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR vlock (1), +.BR vlock-plugins (5) +.SH AUTHORS +Frank Benkstein <frank-vlock@benkstein.net> |
