DMLOCK(1)                       Domain/OS SysV                       DMLOCK(1)




NAME
     dmlock - lock Display Manager screen

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/apollo/bin/dmlock

DESCRIPTION
     The dmlock command hides the display and disables keyboard input until
     the correct password is entered.  dmlock is intended for use only with
     the Apollo Display Manager, and it will execute only when the DM owns the
     root screen.

     dmlock displays the name of the account that is currently logged into the
     Display Manager and the time that dmlock was invoked.  dmlock covers the
     rest of the display with a moire pattern, and sets the screen time-out to
     30 seconds.  The priority of the dmlock process is lowered to minimize
     interference with other running processes on the node.

     When the correct password for the account displayed on the screen is
     entered, dmlock restores the original screen time-out, restores the
     original display, releases the keyboard, and terminates.
