Screen Saver thro command line

Hi All,

The very last post - I explained - how to install GnomeScreenSaver and make use of its features....

Ever want to run the same in a gnome-terminal or konsole??? Tried it ever???

Ok here you go...

Once GnomeScreenSaver is installed - open gnome-terminal ...

1. Press Alt + F2 and then type Gnome-Terminal
2. Enter gnome-screens and press tab key.

If you get till step 2 and if it displays this - below - for the 2nd time tab being pressed...

gnome-screensaver-command ....

then it's simple...

3. Issue this command gnome-screensaver-command -l

Here in the above command ... -l is for lock.

This step 3 command does the same thing as done by earlier Ctrl + Alt + L ... but thro the command view / mode...

Enjoy...

Take care,
Ananth GS
