| Aug 2, 2014 at 2:18 | comment | added | Aquarius Power | I think things may have changed now in 2014? as the output doesnt change if the screen was only locked, it only shows something when it gets blanked and is very different from here :(, I created this question askubuntu.com/questions/505681/…, do you believe there is still some way to do that? thx! | |
| Jan 4, 2012 at 16:13 | comment | added | Sander | @peoro Thanks great, very helpful! Can I also run this as some sort of daemon? When I enter this in the terminal now, it has to stay open to monitor the dbus for that case. I would like to execute this command at login and then it can be active during the entire session. | |

Passing -a to gnome-screensaver-command you'll lock the screen, while you'll unlock it with -d. Anyway most gnome apps use dbus extensively, so you'll be able to do many amazing things with it. | |
