Set message from command line for the Cinnamon Lock screen

Etienne Prothon

I am trying to create a little script to set random message when i lock the screen of my computer.

So i need to be able to define a message from command line and call it when i will execute the lock screen function.

I find the command to lock the screen : cinnamon-screensaver-command -l but in the man there is no details about how to define the lock screen message.

If you have some ideas...

cinnamon-screensaver-command now has a "-m" or "--away-message" option for this, so you can just use that. I've got a little shell script that reads something like:

#!/bin/sh

cinnamon-screensaver-command -l -m $(fortune -s)
