Command for "Lock Screen" [Solved]

[longtom]

Hi,

in the old days I used ctrl + alt + L to lock my screen.  I would like to assign that shortcut to my keyboard shortcuts.  However, I don't now what the cli command is for "lock screen".

If somebody could help me I would be very grateful.

... and in old longtom thread tradition I will answer myself.  Just remembered something from Gnome.  So I paraphrased it a little and it works.

The command in my case with xscreensaver as my screensaver is:

Code: [Select]

xscreensaver-command --lock

Glad I could help.

So my advice didn't work?  Wow, Thanks for stepping in Rudge!
