Many times we walk away from the desk for various reasons and you want to lock the terminal just like we lock UI screens like "xlock" or "Ctrl-Alt-Del" combination. In ubuntu, there is a simple program that allows you to do the same to a terminal window. It is called "away". You can install it as below:
$sudo apt-get install away
Once you install, you can invoke the terminal lock using
$away -C "gone for coffee"
After you return, it you can press "Enter" and it will prompt you for password.
$sudo apt-get install away
Once you install, you can invoke the terminal lock using
$away -C "gone for coffee"
After you return, it you can press "Enter" and it will prompt you for password.
