Hi Stefan,
Possibly just a language difference, but just wanted to clarify. xset won't
start the screensaver, the 'lock' above the xset does that. The 3 second
sleep is to extract yourself from the computer so moving the mouse (or
whatever) doesn't re-awaken the monitor after 'standby' puts the monitor in,
well, standby (which I called sleep earlier).
All of the above is really useful if you have a laptop in a hotel room (or
computer in a bedroom).
Best!,
Michael
xset dpms force standby
That will also 'sleep' the monitor without turning it off.
Yeah, thanks. I've been using xset all the time but not thought of it
being able to start the screensaver as well… :-)
