Maybe some people want to lock their screen for some reason. And they want to do this with command line or script. To lock the screen on ubuntu, the command you need to run would be like this.


First you have to make sure that the screen saver is running. the command is :

Then to lock the screen, you need to run this command :

$ gnome-screensaver-command -l
