can nyone point me to some good tutorial for screen lock in fluxbox,,,though i tried something caled xlock/xscreenlock and also went thru this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=529365
but no help yet...plz help me ,,,m kinda new to fluxbox...but i really like it...thanx for ur time...

Just run "xlock" (no quotes) in a terminal and it will lock your screen.

thank you very much....i installed it neary a week ago ..but dint get ny information on how to use it....realy m such a morooooon....
thanx u very much....i think we can directly bind it to ny key we like using ./fluxbox/keys , right?

i used the command from commad Line and it worked fine...but wehen i treid to tie it for a shortcut it didn't work...i have seen this probem with some other commanda alos...when i used the following command
Mod1 L:exec xlock
but something funny happened...i lost the 'l' key ....yeh lowercase l , thoough i was able to type L, i was no more able to write the lowercase l,,,then i removed that key binding and reloaded the fluxbox config file and now its working fine...

did i do something silly,,,???whatz the probleme and how to write the shortcut in ./fluxbox/keys file for screenlocking...thank u very much...

Try this:
So if you press "Alt l" it will lock the screen. But, I usually put it in the fluxbox menu instead, whatever you want. See here for more on binding keys in fluxbox:
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/...eybindings.php

thank you....it worked....one more silly question....i thougt of putting a keybinding so that i can fire my fav editor, vi to directly open the flux keybindings,so that i dotn have to open xterm then again fire a command to open that keys file...i did something like this
Mod1 C :ExecCommand vi ~/.fluxbox/keys
but it didnt work, and i think the reason is pretty much simple, it was not able to open an xterm, right? so i think i have to do some config settings where i have to specify that when i fire say vi foo.txt from RUN(say Alt + F2) it will open an xterm and then open that fiel in that xterm. does this sound logically OK???if yes then how to do it...
thank for ur valuable time...

Try:

Thank you, its working fine. May i know what is the basic difference between "exec" and "ExecCommand". which one to use where?

Well, I think in fluxbox, there is no 'exec' it's only 'ExecCommand'. 'exec' is only in a terminal or console.

can anybody tell me how to run date command continously?
i want to check the time in every sec gap?

Please reply me

Thanks
