One poster privately messaged me a resource. I couldn't PM him, as
Some users couldn’t be added as they have disabled private message receipt.
I can't also name him on the forum as he desired privacy. His resource isn't copyright or private though. I shall post the link after I have gone through it and found it serving my purpose. But I had PMed him
as he
deserves thanks for posting a reference/link.
Thank you, Mr. Irich. Now consider your better script.
What is the role of:
/bin/echo -e "\r" here, other than better presentability, could you kindly explain please? I am not challenging you. Want to know your viewpoint.
The code with \r enters a return. And the command echo is in the path. So why /usr/bin/echo?
Now may the line "xautolock -time 1 -locker "./ssvr.sh" be
executed in place of
simply the script
ssvr.sh.
Then please check and inform
how to check forking in such a scenario, and
pause the next fork until the first pipe is finished.
Freedom is impossible to conceive.
