- xscreensaver-command - control a running xscreensaver

- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- The _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d program controls a running
- _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r process by sending it client-messages.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d accepts the following options:
-
- ----aaaaccccttttiiiivvvvaaaatttteeee
- Tell the screensaver to turn on immediately (that
- is, pretend that the user been idle for long
- enough.) It will turn off as soon as there is any
- user activity, as usual.
-
- It is useful to run this from a menu; you may wish
- to run it as
-
- sleep 5 ; xscreensaver-command -activate
-
- to be sure that you have time to remove your hand
- from the mouse before the screensaver comes on.
-
- ----ddddeeeeaaaaccccttttiiiivvvvaaaatttteeee
- Tell the screensaver to turn off, as if there had
- been user activity. If locking is enabled, then the
- screensaver will prompt for a password as usual.
-
- ----ccccyyyycccclllleeee Tell the screensaver to change which graphics hack
- it is running, just as if the ``cycle'' timer had
- expired.
-
- ----nnnneeeexxxxtttt This is like either -_a_c_t_i_v_a_t_e or -_c_y_c_l_e, depending
- on which is more appropriate, except that the
- screenhack that will be run is the next one in the
- list of programs, instead of a randomly-chosen one.
- This option is good for looking at a demo of each of
- the screensavers currently available. You might
- want to put this on a menu.
-
- ----pppprrrreeeevvvv This is like -_n_e_x_t, but cycles in the other
- direction.
-
- ----ddddeeeemmmmoooo Cause the screensaver to enter its interactive demo
- mode, if it has been compiled with support for it.

-
-
- ----lllloooocccckkkk Like -_a_c_t_i_v_a_t_e, but a password will be required
- before the screensaver turns off, even if the
- screensaver's _l_o_c_k resource is false. The display
- will be locked immediately even if the screensaver's
- _l_o_c_k_T_i_m_e_o_u_t resource is non-zero.
-
- ----eeeexxxxiiiitttt Causes the screensaver process to exit gracefully.
- This is a slightly safer way to kill the screensaver
- than by using _k_i_l_l.
-
- Never use _k_i_l_l -_9 with _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r while the
- screensaver is active. If you are using a virtual
- root window manager, that can leave things in an
- inconsistent state, and you may need to restart your
- window manager to repair the damage.
-
- ----rrrreeeessssttttaaaarrrrtttt
- Causes the screensaver process to exit and then
- restart with the same command line arguments. This
- is a good way of causing the screensaver to re-read
- the resource database.
-
- If the screensaver is run from _x_d_m(_1) (that is, it
- is already running before you log in) then you may
- want to issue the ``restart'' command from one of
- your startup scripts, so that the screensaver gets
- your resource settings instead of the default ones.
-
- EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
- DDDDIIIISSSSPPPPLLLLAAAAYYYY to get the default host and display number.
-
- PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH to find the executable to restart.

- SSSSEEEEEEEE AAAALLLLSSSSOOOO

-
- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- Diagnostics are reported on the ssssttttddddeeeerrrrrrrr of the _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r
- process, not this process, so the caller of _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r-
- _c_o_m_m_a_n_d may not see the error messages.
