<h1>Screen Saver? Yes!</h1>
<p>So, a while back I found a screensaver which is meant for the command<br>
line. It is called <a href="http://www.pulia.nu/tss/">tss</a>. The<br>
latest version is 0.8.1, and it is looking pretty cool.</p>
<p>Under screen 4.0 or higher, there is a command called idle which is<br>
set in seconds. By default, it uses screens built in lockscreen<br>
function, but if you define the environment variable LOCKPGR, then you<br>
can call something else. I have it call a the following script:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
tss -r
exec vlock -a
</code></pre>
<p>This will lock my screen after a set time, and give me a nice thing to<br>
look at. <img alt=":)" src="http://www.duckland.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"></p>
