I want to enable the lock screen after certain period of inactivity. Once user wants to use the system again he should be forced to re-login with password.

If there is a unique solution for various flavor of linux then it is preferable.

  • Thanks for the quick reply. I have come across the above post earlier but it is mostly related to GUI, could you please suggest how to achieve it from the command line or a script. I have tried gsettings but it is not working on all distros. I am looking for a common solution for this if possible.
