term lock

[petaflot]

following #2 but not quite:

I usually like to set screen lock (and often screensaver too) explicitly : I don't like such tools to interfere with my work (reading a document, watching misc media, contemplating code).

using unimatrix as a term lock would be cool ; I started looking into it but I'm not quite sure where to put the code

basically, desired behaviour is "show a matrix until ctrl+Z is pressed ; then request password else restart (and log failed attempts, possibly with webcam shot)"

vlock program can be used as a locker, instead of re-inventing the wheel : https://linux.die.net/man/1/vlock

this works (and suprisingly also protects from Ctrl+Z)

alias vlock='unimatrix -l cP -c red -s 95 ;
        /usr/bin/vlock &&
        unimatrix -l BPPPsk -c green -s 98 -w'

requires Braille symbols ;-)

currently in my ~/.bashrc:

unimatrix -l BPPPsk -c green -s 98 -w
alias vlock='unimatrix -l cP -c red -s 98 -w ;
        unimatrix -l BPPPsk -c blue -g black -f -s 95 ;
        /usr/bin/vlock &&
        killall unimatrix 2>/dev/null;
        killall -9 vlock 2>/dev/null;
        unimatrix -l BPPPsk -c green -s 98 -w'

that killall -9 vlock is there in case other terms have been locked. still looking for a way to lock all terms simultanously

IS NOT SAFE when inside screen or tmux
